Florida Atlantic University will compete in the "Battle for the Bucket" blood drive competition. The blood drive will take place Thursday, March 20 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday, March 21 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the football locker room of the Tom Oxley Athletic Center, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton Campus.
FAU athletes and staff will compete against rival Florida International University to see who will donate the most blood for the Community Blood Centers of South Florida. The school that has the highest percentage of staff and athletes compete will receive a traveling trophy. Athletes and staff who donate blood will receive a free T-shirt and pizza. Along with the blood drive, the Community Blood Centers of South Florida will offer a mini-physical, including iron and cholesterol screenings.
The general public will be allowed to attend and give blood, however, the final total will be determined by the percentage of FAU student-athletes and staff who participate.
