Âé¶¹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder 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 Boulder 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. Ìý
Walk-in donations are appreciated and accepted, but we strongly encourage planning ahead and booking an appointment to donate using the appointment links above. Ìý
Last year, the Âé¶¹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder 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 Boulder County. Ìý
Our first goal is simple: Help as many people in Boulder 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 Âé¶¹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØearn 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.
