Participate in a Red Cross blood drive in Oakland
February 6, 2024 •
Carlos Arias and Trish Dolan encourage UCOP colleagues to join them in donating blood next month.
On Tuesday, March 5, from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., UCOP is hosting 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 — blood donors are urgently needed now to help ensure patients at hospitals across the country continue to receive critical medical care.
Our blood drive is being coordinated by recent UCOP retiree Jan Kehoe. To sign up for a spot, email her at jkehoe.blood@yahoo.com.
