‘DIVE IN TO GIVE BLOOD’ AT NORTHWESTERN JUNE 13

            With summer blood supplies at a low level, Northwestern Oklahoma State University and the Northwest Oklahoma Blood Institute are encouraging eligible donors to “Dive In to Give Blood” in a drive scheduled for Wednesday, June 13.

            The drive will take place in the Ranger Room of the Student Center from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

            In addition to the opportunity to save lives, donors will receive a free T-shirt, “Members for Life” points and the chance to win a lawn care prize package valued at more than $300.

            Participants also will be able to buy one ticket/get one free pass to White Water Bay or Frontier City, which they may do for up to six people (three pay/three free).

            Those giving blood also will be treated to free Subway sandwiches and a free movie rental.

            For additional information or to schedule a time to donate, please contact Steve Valencia, associate vice president for university relations, at (580) 327-8478.
