Eager fans who can’t wait for the Causeway Classic football game have a chance to beat Sac State on a different kind of field next week: in bloodmobiles stationed around the Quad for the three-day Causeway Classic Blood Drive.
Vitalant — formerly known as BloodSource — will conduct its blood (and marrow) drive from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, Nov. 6-8, for our half of the annual competition between the two universities, to see which one can muster the most participants. With a win last year, ٺƵ took a 6-4 lead in the series.
“Last November we had a total of 1,423 participants represent ٺƵ over the competition date range,” said Heather Sharp, a representative of Vitalant. “Because of this friendly but spirited competition between neighboring rivals, 2,736 total participants represented at both schools and thousands of lifesaving pints of blood were collected.”
Every participant in the Causeway Classic Blood Drive this year receives a $10 Fandango movie voucher.
