• This will be the 17th year! Penn State is ahead by 11-5
Why is it Important?
• Every 2 seconds someone needs blood in the United States.
• We collect thousands of pints of blood for the Greater Alleghenies and the Great Lakes Blood Region elevating blood inventories immediately before the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays
• Penn State continues to have one of the most successful blood donation programs in the country thanks to support from students, faculty and staff
