Bengals Blood Drive, University of Cincinnati

Hoxworth Blood Center

"The Bengals Blood Drive has become the largest single-day blood drive in Greater Cincinnati," said Alecia Lipton, Hoxworth spokesperson. “This drive is festive, fun and can make a difference in the lives of more than a thousand patients.”

For those who cannot attend the blood drive, Hoxworth Blood Center will be celebrating “Bengals Week” at all of its Neighborhood Donor Centers. Donors who give at a Neighborhood Donor Center Oct. 1, 2, 4, 5 or 6 will also receive a free, limited-edition Bengals T-shirt.

All Neighborhood Donor Centers will be closed and there will be no other mobiles on Wednesday, October 3 because all Hoxworth staff will be dedicated to the Bengals Blood Drive at Paul Brown Stadium.
