The University Memorial Center and Libby Hall at the University of Colorado at Boulder will host the 2001 Spring Boulder Campus Blood Drive.
Open to the public, the blood drive will be in the UMC Ballroom Feb. 27 and Feb. 28 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and March 1 in Libby Hall in the Pit room from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Those who want to reserve a specific time slot should call (303) 492-5473 to make a reservation, or visit the blood drive table outside the UMC Forum Room Feb. 19 through Feb. 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
People can also donate blood without an appointment.
All donors are required to be in good health, weigh at least 110 pounds and not be in a risk-behavior group. Donors should eat within four hours of making a donation and drink plenty of fluids before and after the process, which takes about 60 minutes.
The blood will be distributed by the Belle Bonfils Blood Center in Denver, which supplies blood to about 80 hospitals and health care facilities throughout Colorado. Each donor's blood can help between one to three patients who need blood.
The drive is sponsored by the CU-Boulder Staff Council, Alpha Phi Omega, the Arnold Air Society, Alpha Epsilon Delta and the Belle Bonfils Community Blood Center. For more information contact the CU-Boulder Staff Council at (303) 492-5473.
