Roll Up Your Sleeve and Save a Life at Miami University's Hamilton Campus on Sept. 5

The Community Blood Center's bloodmobile will roll onto Miami University's Hamilton campus as part of its blood drive.

Donors can choose a free t-shirt or other gift when they show up to donate blood.

The bloodmobile will be stationed at 1601 University Blvd. on Tuesday, Sept. 5 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment online or call 1-800-388-GIVE.

First-time donor? Look no further than here for a simple explanation of the process.

"Donating blood is a simple thing to do, but it can make a big difference in the lives of others. The donation process from the time you arrive until the time you leave takes about an hour. The donation itself is only about 8-10 minutes on average,'' according to the Community Blood Center of Dayton's website.
