Buffalo State will host a semiannual blood drive in support of its community partner ConnectLife on Thursday, September 15, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Campbell Student Union Social Hall.

Appointments are encouraged but not necessary. Volunteers will be present in the Campbell Student Union lobby on Thursday, September 8, from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. to promote the event, provide information, and schedule appointments. Appointments can also be made by phone at (716) 529-4270 or online through the ConnectLife website (sponsor code 001047).

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, blood supplies in Western New York are critically low. ConnectLife is Western New York’s only community blood bank, contributing nearly 80 percent of the local hospitals’ blood supply. Every drop of blood collected stays here in Western New York.

If you are eligible to donate, please consider supporting the ConnectLife blood drive on September 15. Donors will receive a Buffalo hat and an all-you-can-eat dining voucher for the Bengal Kitchen dining hall. Thank you.
