Griz fans will have several opportunities to help their team win this year's Cat-Griz Blood Battle while making a difference for people who need blood donations.

Blood Donation Events on Campus: November 5, 9, 12, & 13

The University of Montana will host blood donation events on campus this coming November 5, 9, 12, and 13. If you're planning to donate, make sure you use the sponsor code GRIZCATCHALLENGE so your donation counts toward the Grizzlies in this year's competition.

Last year, Griz fans donated more blood than Bobcat fans, and we'd love to see the Griz come out on top again this year!

More importantly, donating blood is an opportunity to help save lives. Blood donations provide essential components, including red blood cells, platelets, and plasma, that patients need for surgeries, cancer treatments, emergencies, and other medical care. A single blood donation can help save more than one life.

Support Your Team While Making a Difference

If you've been thinking about donating blood, this is a great opportunity to do something good for your community while supporting your favorite football team. 

You can schedule an appointment by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS or visiting RedCrossBlood.org. Remember to enter the sponsor code GRIZCATCHALLENGE to make sure your donation counts toward the Grizzlies. 

Let's help save lives, support the Red Cross, and bring home another victory for Griz fans!
