BDA LogoOur Mission

The Blood Drive Association (BDA) at OSU works to organize and host a Red Cross Blood Drive each academic term. We also strive to educate the OSU community on the need for donated blood and promote campus-wide involvement during each drive through donation and volunteering.

The Blood Drive Association at OSU hosts one of the largest Red Cross blood drives in the Pacific Northwest!

 

Get Involved!

The BDA meets weekly in the Memorial Union. Fall 2024 meeting times Tuesdays from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM in MU 208. Come join us and learn more about who we are and what we do!

Donate With Us!

Our Fall Term 2024 Blood Drive will be held November 4th through 6th from 10 AM to 4 PM in the Memorial Union Ballroom. On November 7th from 10 AM to 4 PM, the Blood Drive will be hosted at the First Presbyterian Church. Donor sign-ups will be available soon!

One donation can help save up to THREE lives -- Donating is a really easy way to do a whole lot of good in your community!

Questions about the process? Want to know whether or not you are eligible to donate? Check out the Red Cross Donor Information webpage and the Red Cross Eligibility webpage to get started, or email us to ask your questions!

 

Volunteer With Us!

Not a needles person? That's okay! The BDA coordinates a volunteer team to support the drive each term -- No needles involved!

Volunteers will be trained in their tasks upon arrival. Just show up ready to work, and we will let you know exactly how to be the most helpful.

Volunteer sign ups will be available soon!

 

Part of Greek Life?

Greek Life students can count volunteer and donor hours towards their required service hours! Each whole blood donation is worth three hours, and Power Red donors can earn four hours per donation. Volunteers earn one hour for every hour volunteered at one of our drives.

At the end of the year, the Greek Houses with the most volunteer and donor hours per person will also be awarded the Blood Drop Award during the annual Greek Awards Ceremony.
