The ASU Health Sciences Society partnered with the American Red Cross and held their second, and now biannual, Blood Drive at ASU Lake Havasu City! This occurred on Wednesday, November 4, 2015 from 12:00 P.M. – 5:00 P.M. in Daytona Hall. There is an ongoing need for donated blood, so we are pleased with the support of this very important cause. We appreciate all the support we received with our blood drive this past week and would like to say thank you to those at the Red Cross and those who gave blood. We hope this will encourage more volunteers next year and have an even bigger turnout. You guys are awesome. Go Devils!
