Slam the Gators!
University of Kentucky students, staff and faculty can take an active part in Kentucky's annual rivalry with Florida during this year's Big Blue Slam Blood Drive on UK's campus Jan. 27–31.
The 17th annual blood battle encourages blood donations in the winter months when weather and illness can hinder collections.
Kentucky Blood Center will have several opportunities for donors to give blood. All donation locations on campus will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.:
- Gatton Student Center | Ballroom A – Monday through Friday
- William T. Young Library | KBC Bloodmobile – Monday
- Lewis Honors College – Thursday and Friday

All UK Campus Donors Will Receive:
- Big Blue Slam T-shirt
- $5 L8nite gift card

All are while supplies last! KBC will also make a $5 donation to a DanceBlue team of a donor's choosing for giving blood (donor must fill out a slip at donation).
