Green and red aren’t paired only at Christmastime—Canadian Blood Services is hoping to see plenty of both during a campus blood donor clinic on St. Patrick’s Day.
The clinic runs 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Thursday, March 17, in the Ambassador Auditorium, CAW Student Centre.
“Students can come dressed in green for St. Patrick’s Day,” says Paula Talbot, event coordinator for the organization’s mobile unit. “That would be fun!”
As a special incentive, donors who send a selfie to local radio station Mix 96.7 will enter a draw for tickets to a Rihanna concert. Get the details.
Walk-in donors are welcome, but appointments will better accommodate donors’ working schedules. To book an appointment, call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283).
As with previous clinics, the Department of Human Resources encourages all eligible employees to participate in this worthwhile process and asks any employees who wish to donate to make the necessary arrangements with their supervisors regarding the possibility of extended lunch or break periods.
