What is it?• The PSU-MSU Blood Donor Challenge is a friendly

competition between PSU and MSU to see who can collect the most blood in the month of November (three weeks)

• The Alpha Epsilon Delta Blood Cup is a friendly competition among Penn State organizations to try to get as many clubs involved in our campaign so we can win!– Large, Small, and Greek Group Winners

• This will be the 17th year! Penn State is ahead by 11-5

Why is it Important?

• Every 2 seconds someone needs blood in the United States.

• We collect thousands of pints of blood for the Greater Alleghenies and the Great Lakes Blood Region elevating blood inventories immediately before the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays

• Penn State continues to have one of the most successful blood donation programs in the country thanks to support from students, faculty and staff

When is it?
