Black Male Initiative sponsors Blood Drive on Oct. 10; sign up now to be a donor

Cincinnati State’s Black Male Initiative organization (BMI) is again hosting a Blood Drive for the University of Cincinnati’s Hoxworth Blood Center, and encourages all members of the College community to consider becoming donors.

The Blood Drive will take place Tuesday, Oct. 10. The blood donor bus will be parked near the ATLC building from 9 to 11 a.m. and 12:30 to 3 p.m.

As thanks for participating, all donors will receive a free Halloween-themed t-shirt!

To schedule an appointment for your blood donation, go to hoxworth.org/groups/cincystate or call (513) 451-0910.

The most recent BMI blood drive, held in February 2023, collected 19 units of blood that can potentially save more than 50 lives.

Hoxworth is the oldest operating blood bank in the country, and serves more than 30 area hospitals and medical centers with blood products to help save the lives of patients.

If you have questions about the blood drive, contact BMI Advisor Bryan Dell (bryan.dell@cincinnatistate.edu).
