WKU Blood Drive
Make an Appointment
November 2-4, 2026, from 10:30am - 4:30pm at the Preston Center
The WKU campus and the surrounding community are invited to participate in the WKU Blood Drive benefiting the American Red Cross in November 2026.
Appointments are encouraged, but not required.
There are many appointments available for the blood drive on November 2-4, 2026 from 10:30am - 4:30pm. While we encourage making an appointment, you can still walk in to donate. To make an appointment, visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter sponsor code WKU. or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Streamline your donation experience and save up to 15 minutes by visiting RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass to complete your pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire on the day of your appointment.
All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card, a driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds, and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
Incentive Offer – All presenting donors will receive a commemorative t-shirt while supplies last.
The 100 Miles of Hope WKU Blood Drive is seeking volunteers to help with donor check-in and distribution of information and giveaways. Please view the options below and sign up for the time that you can serve. For more information about volunteering, contact Angel Shoemake at angel.shoemake@wku.edu.
