The University of Colorado has earned statewide recognition as Colorado's top college blood donor for the 2025-2026 academic year blood drives. Some of the impressive statistics from the last academic year are.

194 first-time donors
619 units of red cell and whole blood donations; 654 units if you include plasma and additional red cell units
Estimated potential impact to 1,962 individuals in our community

CU �Ǹ�Թ� Staff Council and the Blood Drive and Community Service Committee are excited to announce our intent to go back-to-back as Colorado’s top college blood donor in 2026-2027.

We need our WHOLE COMMUNITY to achieve this and, more importantly, to help those in �Ǹ�Թ� County who need blood. Each donation can save up to three lives right here in our city and county.

We bring the opportunity to donate blood right to campus with the following information.

Walk-in donations are appreciated and accepted, but we strongly encourage planning ahead and booking an appointment to donate using the appointment links above.

Last year, the CU �Ǹ�Թ� community showed up and showed what we can accomplish together. This year, we have the opportunity to make an even bigger impact on those in �Ǹ�Թ� County.

Our first goal is simple: Help as many people in �Ǹ�Թ� County as possible to have the blood they need when they need it. Every donation matters!

Together, we can continue to highlight the dedication and care of our Buff community by helping CU earn recognition as Colorado’s top college blood donor for a second year in a row.

Whether a first-year, first-time student, or a longtime donor, we hope you’ll join us! Bring a friend or colleague, make appointments, and help us continue our tradition of being there for our community.

Staff Council brings the opportunity to donate blood right to campus with our next Blood Drive September 30 through October 1.
