Blood Battle Kickoff at the Schottenstein Center

Cheer on Ohio State while making a real difference at this blood drive kickoff event. The Schottenstein Center is hosting a community blood donation drive tied to the upcoming rivalry game against the University of Michigan. The goal is ambitious—help secure a fifth consecutive win—and everyone who comes to donate (or attempt to donate) receives an exclusive long-sleeve shirt as a thank-you gift. The event runs from 10am to 6pm at the Northeast Rotunda, and parking is free in the Scarlet Lots. This is a great opportunity to introduce kids to community service and the importance of blood donation, all while supporting the Buckeyes. You'll want to make an appointment ahead of time, and bringing friends or fellow fans makes the experience even more fun. It's a meaningful way to spend a few minutes and walk away with a commemorative shirt.
