Before the Buckeyes and That Team Up North square off on the gridiron this November, they're taking each other on in a different way for a cause.
The 43rd Annual Blood Battle is kicking off this week, and OSU and Michigan are ready to see which institution can bring in the most blood donations. Through the Blood Battle, Versiti Blood Center of Ohio and Buckeye Blood Club hope to collect 1,500 units of blood for patients at the OSU Wexner Medical Center.
“Holding these events on college campuses is important so we can inspire the next generation to become blood donors,” Brian Bautista, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Versiti said in a media release. “One of the biggest challenges facing the nation’s blood supply is the loss of a significant portion of donors under the age of 30 and Blood Battle events can help change that.”drives across the campus area from this Wednesday, October 23 to November 27.
“Your donation is valuable and worth the effort it takes to give because it can directly transform health outcomes for people in your community, from cancer and/or cancer treatments to surgeries to trauma cases,” Dr. Kami Maddocks, professor and section chief for lymphoma in the division of hematology said. “Blood cannot be manufactured so our hospitals rely on every donation.”
