WVU LGBTQ+ Center and WVU Mountaineer Mascot Blood Drive

February 26, 2026

The Mountaineer Mascot Program, in conjunction with the American Red Cross, offers two blood drives each year. Implemented in 2019 to give back to our community due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, our drives have collected 516 units from 571 blood donors, saving over 1550 lives!

The next Mountaineer Mascot Blood Drive will be on March 3, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Rhododendron Room of the Mountainlair. The Mountaineer will be on-site from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

The Red Cross is offering a $15 Amazon Gift Card and free A1C Testing for all donors. Donors can visit the Red Cross website to schedule an appointment.
