Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ host Blazer Blood Drive

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ hopes to raise over 140 units of "Blazer blood" in the third annual Rivalry Blood Drive against West Georgia, Wednesday, November 2, from Noon to 5 p.m., on the second floor of University Union, Camellia Room.

The pre-football game event seeks friendly competition between the rival universities for a good cause, said John Wright, assistant director of Student Life.

The American Red Cross has set a goal of 116 units for the five-hour blood drive; however, Wright is hoping to beat the 140 units that West Georgia collected last week.

The winning school will be announced during Saturday's afternoon football game at Bazemore-Hyder Stadium and will take home the traveling trophy, currently in Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's possession.

"This is a great way to build school spirit and participate in a great cause at the same time," said Wright.

Though the Rivalry Blood Drive will last through 5 p.m., donations of blood will be collected through 6 p.m. For more information, contact Wright at 333-5674.
