UNH AND THE AMERICAN RED CROSS HOLD “BLEED BLUE” BLOOD DRIVE SATURDAY DURING HOMECOMING
DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New
Hampshire's Wildcat Sports Properties and the American Red Cross
announce the 2nd annual "Bleed Blue" blood drives, a
series of New Hampshire-wide blood drives during September and
October leading up to the Wildcats' homecoming football game on
Saturday, October 9, 2010.
As part of the series, at each blood drive selected as a
"Bleed Blue" drive, donors will receive discounted $11 Wildcat
