Annual Abbott B1G Blood Drive - now through December 4!

This season, Big Ten pride means more than bragging rights. Donate blood to help your favorite Big Ten® school win a $1 million grant for student or community health — all while helping tackle the national blood shortage.

Fans, students and alumni can donate blood at any blood drive or blood center in the U.S. and help put their school on top. Participants who donate and submit their donation can claim a limited-edition Illinois T-shirt while supplies last.

Through December 4, submit your donation for your Big Ten® school at BigTen.org/Abbott or by texting GIVEBLOOD to 222688 (ABBOTT).

Check your email to claim your free T-shirt* and show off your team pride.

* Shirts are limited to one per person, while supplies last. Shirts are non-transferrable, not redeemable for cash, and apply to people who present to donate.
