Thanks to those of you who signed up to volunteer! All our spots were able to be filled (but feel free to keep an eye on the signup in case there’s an opening!) Keep up the good work, and remember that donating blood also counts as service hours 🩸

In light of our amazing, Dook crushing, men's basketball team...we will NOT be having our meeting on Monday! Instead, we ask you to cheer your hardest for them as they compete for the national title. We will be sending out the slides that we would have been presenting through email. Also... don't forget that our next, and last, meeting will be our pizza party for reaching our volunteer hour goals!

Our next meeting is on Monday! Only one more to go until we are done for the year. See you there!

The American Red Cross is facing a national blood crisis – its worst blood shortage in over a decade, posing a concerning risk to patient care. Doctors have been forced to make difficult decisions about who receives blood transfusions and who will need to wait until more products become available. Blood and platelet donations are critically needed to help prevent further delays in vital medical treatments. Please consider donating blood at our next blood drive this semester, on March 7th.

21/02/2022

Join us for our 9th GBM tonight!

Our January blood drive is approaching quickly! Did you know... There are four main red blood cell types: A, B, AB and O. Each can be positive or negative for the Rh factor. AB is the universal recipient and O negative is the universal donor of red blood cells. Regardless of your blood type, please consider donating!
(Also, happy FDOC Tar Heels!!)
