Monday, April 6th, 2026 - Friday, April 10th, 2026, will be the dates for the next UC ALL CAMPUS BLOOD DRIVE! The blood drive runs from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM, Monday-Thursday and 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM on Friday and will be on donor buses parked on Bearcat Commons. This activity will be mostly outside on Bearcat Commons, so plan to dress appropriately for the weather daily.
Hoxworth Blood Center will need some assistance from volunteers to work with Hoxworth staff in order to; welcome donors, helping to direct donors into each bus, signing up donors for blood drive appointments, assisting donors with basic questions, assisting donors with drinks/give-a-way items, monitoring donors for any donation reactions and generally making sure the blood drive runs well.
We have space for up to three (3) volunteers to participate in a three and a half (3.5) hour time frame on two different shifts each day. Monday through Thursday we will have an early shift (9:30 AM - 1:00 PM) and a late shift (1:00 PM - 4:30 PM). On Friday we will have an early shift (8:30 AM - 12:00 PM) and late shift (12:00 PM - 3:30 PM). We know this is a long commitment for a day but also are limiting the number of volunteer participants. We will contact waitlist volunteers if an opening becomes available.
Hoxworth Blood Center Staff will be on-site to help any of the volunteers that are able to give their time to assist. Please email Jamie Glahn (james.glahn@uc.edu) regarding volunteering and Bobby Boettcher (boettcra@ucmail.uc.edu) regarding questions about the blood drive.
We rely heavily on UC volunteers participating in the blood drive to help make sure other Bearcats have a great experience at the blood drive events. Your assistance is needed and very appreciated. This counts as an off-site activity, even though it is on campus.
IMPORTANT: If you sign-up and have to cancel due to illness (within 48 hours of the event) please email Jamie (james.glahn@uc.edu) and Bobby (boettcra@ucmail.uc.edu), so we are aware and can contact volunteers on the wait list. Please remember, if you sign-up and don't participate, you are taking away someone else's opportunity to help and get community service hours.
Thank you for viewing this need and everything you do for your community!
