Medical conditions and emergencies don’t stop for a pandemic. For patients in the emergency room, fighting cancer, or facing a life-threatening illness, help can’t wait. COVID Operations will sponsor a Red Cross blood drive on April 26 from noon to 6 p.m. at Baker Center.

We urge students, faculty and staff to share their good health by giving blood. Beyond the potentially life-saving significance of giving blood, the Red Cross offers incentives for this blood drive: 

>  Donors age 16 to 25 will receive a $10 electronic gift card usable at a variety of merchants.

>  All donors will be entered into a national Red Cross drawing to win one of five $1,000 e-gift cards.

To make an appointment, visit  www.redcrossblood.org  and use sponsor code OUBaker. After a year of things you can’t do, this is something you CAN do to make a difference.
