Penn State and the American Red Cross will partner again for the Bleed Blue at Beaver Stadium blood drive.

The blood drive, held 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday in the President’s Suite at Beaver Stadium, is held during a time of year when blood donations tend to decline. This is the sixth year that Penn State and the Red Cross have hosted the event.

Donors will receive a special Beaver Stadium blood drive T-shirt, food from DelGrosso Foods and be entered in a drawing for a chance to win four tickets to next year’s Penn State football game in Pittsburgh.

Appointments for the blood drive are strongly encouraged and can be made through the American Red Cross blood donor app, at redcrossblood.org with sponsor code PSU or at 800-RED-CROSS. Donors should enter through the Suites Lobby entrance off Porter Road, near Gate A. Free parking will be available in the Porter North lot.
