2026 February Eagle Pride Blood Drive

Due to the snow events that caused many cancellations, the Campus American Red Cross Brand Ambassadors are asking all NCCU students, staff and faculty, along with the community to donate blood at the Eagle Pride Blood Drive taking place on Monday, February 16, 2026 from 11:00 am to 4:30 pm in the Nursing Building, Room 2123.

Please visit redcrossblood.org and enter sponsor code: NCCU to schedule an appointment. Call 919-530-6422 for more information. 

To have a successful donation, bring a photo ID, drink plenty of water, avoid tea and caffeinated drinks. Also, make sure you eat iron-rich foods such as lean meats, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables along with vitamin C-rich foods such as citrus fruit.

For additional community engagement credits, come out and join the bone marrow and/or organ donor registry and get education about sickle cell disease and donating cord blood and bring a friend to donate.
