Participate in the Mizzou Homecoming Blood Drive at Four Middle Tennessee Locations


As you know, Mizzou's annual homecoming blood drive is one of the largest in the country. Last year's blood drive was the largest in Mizzou's history as students and the community donated more than 5,000 units of blood! That's almost 15,000 lives touched by these donations.

You can help Mizzou make history with its blood drive again this year, but you don't have to go to Columbia to participate. There are four locations in Middle Tennessee area where you can donate blood for the Mizzou Homecoming blood drive - Nashville, Murfreesboro, Crossville and Paducah. Location information is below.


You must donate before October 12 to participate in the Homecoming blood drive.

The blood you donate will stay in Tennessee, but the credit will go to Mizzou's blood drive. To participate, here are a few pointers:

  • Look for the Mizzou sign-in sheet when you donate. If you don't see it when you sign in, please ask for it so credit is given to the Mizzou blood drive.
  • If you want to give points for the Homecoming competition, you can do so when you sign in. Each donor can give points to one student, one campus organization, one Greek organization and one residence hall.
  • If you're unsure about your eligibility to donate, you can visit www.redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767)
We hope to see many Tigers donating during the next two weeks!
