Michigan State & U of M Team Up For Blood Drive All Month

Michigan State and U of Michigan are teaming up on a mutual blood drive to save lives during these winter months.

Their goal for the Mutual Blood Drive is to collect 2,000 pints of blood and this blood drive, like most things between the two Universities, is a competition. The competition started in 2003 and for the last two years, the competition has turned into a partnership called the "Mitten Match up."

The "Mitten Match up" will go from today (January 15th) through February 28th at various places on the Michigan State campus.  Some of the places this week are; 1/15 College of Nursing 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. and  1/16 International Center 10:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
