In addition to helping people in need, our Sleeves Up; Hearts Open virtual blood drive aims to bring awareness to how simple, accessible, and flexible donating can be by giving people the opportunity to donate at a time and place that works best for them, and to foster a legacy of recurring donations from UVU faculty and staff. Monetary donations are also welcomed for those unable to give blood now. See below for more information on how to join the cause!Happening now through Giving Tuesday, December 2.
Sleeves Up; Hearts Open is a student-led service-learning campaign for the benefit the American Red Cross.
