The 2019 Homecoming Blood Drive Collected 1074 Pints!
Appalachian State Homecoming Blood Drive routinely ranks as one of the largest single day, single site blood drives in the country! 

Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood.  Blood is needed for emergencies and for people who have cancer, blood disorders, sickle cell anemia, and other illnesses. Some people need regular blood transfusions to live. While over 50% of the population is able to donate, less than 5% of the eligible population actually does.  Currently, blood donors are the only source of blood for those in need; there is simply no substitute for blood. 
 

For Student Competitions:

• Each person MUST SIGN OUT at the blood drive, with their AppCard, after their donation experience so credit goes to their club/organization for participating in a Homecoming event.
• For individual group/organization members to actively participate, each member must register individually to donate blood at the Blood Drive.
