Women's Lacrosse to Host Blood Drive

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Howard University women's lacrosse team will host a blood drive on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 10am-3pm at the Blackburn Center on campus. All donors must be at least 17 years-old, weigh at least 110 pounds and have a valid ID.

Many children in the hospital require fresh blood or special rare types of red blood cells. Red blood cells, platelets, and plasma are in constant demand for victims of accidents, cancer treatments, blood diseases, and many types of surgery.

Please take a minute from your busy schedule to donate lifesaving blood for the patients at Children's National Medical Center.
