Appointments are still available for the Oct. 1 blood drive in Oakland
September 24, 2024 •
Carlos Arias and Trish Dolan encourage UCOP colleagues to join them in donating blood.
On Tuesday, Oct. 1, from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., UCOP will once again host a blood drive for the American Red Cross in Lobby 1 of the Oakland Franklin building. All employees are welcome to participate!
The U.S. is experiencing a blood shortage emergency and blood donors are urgently needed now to help ensure patients at hospitals across the country continue to receive critical medical care. It only takes about an hour to participate — and your donation could save three lives!
Appointments are highly recommended — they help us plan ahead and ensure that you can donate at a time that works with your schedule. Our blood drive is being coordinated by UCOP retiree Jan Kehoe. To sign up for an appointment, email her at jkehoe.blood@yahoo.com. You can also contact Carlos Arias with additional questions.
Can’t give on Oct. 1? We will also be hosting a blood drive on Dec. 17, 2024. Reserve your time in advance by emailing Jan at the address above.
