Four Locations Available to Donate
Kentucky Blood Center will be at the University of Kentucky April 7–11 to collect blood for local hospitals. It's the final opportunity of the 2024-25 academic year to give blood on campus.
Four locations are available to donate. All drive times will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Gatton Student Center (Ballroom A): Monday–Thursday, April 7–10
- William T. Young Library (KBC Bloodmobile): Monday–Tuesday, April 7–8
- Lewis Honors College (Scholars Student Lounge): Thursday–Friday, April 10–11
- Buell Armory (ROTC Drill Room): Friday, April 11
Donations typically take less than one hour and save up to three local lives. KBC provides blood to more than 70 hospitals in Kentucky, including UK Healthcare.
All donors will receive a "Legend Dairy" T-shirt and a $5 Starbucks gift card as a thank you. 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).
