    About Giving Blood

    • Students giving blood must bring a photo ID
    • The entire procedure takes about 45 minutes; the actual giving time is usually less than 10 minutes
    • It's important - 95% of the population will need a blood transfusion at least once in their lives but only 5% donate blood!
