Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s Alva campus is partnering with the Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) to hold a blood drive from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 13-14, in the Student Center Ranger Room.

The blood donor goal for the Northwestern President’s Leadership Class-sponsored event is 80 blood units for the drive. This event is open to the public.

All blood donors will receive a free limited edition “Bigfoot” t-shirt, free health screenings and donor rewards points. Free pizza will be available, and all donors will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a free energy tea from Northwest Nutrition.

Donors will need to show a photo ID to give blood.
