Let's defend our blood battle title! Buckeyes, donate blood on The Ohio State University campus and help us beat Michigan for the third year in a row.
The Blood Battle is back -- and we're the defending two-time champion! Let’s bleed scarlet and bring that trophy home for a three-peat.
Go Buckeyes!
Last year, Ohio State claimed victory in the Blood Battle for the second year in a row, continuing a tradition that began in 1982. This year, we need your help to collect more blood donations than Michigan and defend our title in this month-long challenge!
As a thank you, all donors will receive a limited-edition Blood Battle t-shirt, while supplies last.
Plus, we've teamed up with Abbott and the Big Ten to fight the greatest blood shortage in a generation through the We Give Blood Drive competition. Submit your Blood Battle donation here: https://bigten.org/abbott/submit/ and help Ohio State not only defeat Michigan but the entire Big Ten!
