Giving blood is a fast, safe and easy way to save lives and be someone's hero.

A blood drive sponsored by Phi Sigma Pi and Blood Bank of Delaware will be held from noon-5 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 10-11, in the Multipurpose Room at the Trabant University Center.

Donors must be at least 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds, be in general good health and have had no tattoos or body piercing within the last 12 months. Donors should also remember to eat a good meal within a three-hour period before giving blood.

UD Blood Bank members may use this as a required donation.
