Campus-wide "Gift of Life" Blood Drive
March 27–29, 2006
The Association of Rice Alumni, the residential colleges and the Rice Student Volunteer Program, in conjunction with the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center, will sponsor blood drives on the Rice University campus March 27–29. The ARA offers cash prizes and plaques to the colleges generating the most donated units of blood in their drives.
In the fall of 2005 a similar drive generated 233 units of whole blood. Sid Richardson College won the $125 first place prize in the ARA sponsored competition, with Brown College receiving a second place cash award of $75.
