Program Overview: In 2024, Abbott and the Big Ten held their inaugural blood donation competition, "The We Give Blood Drive," to combat the worst blood shortage we’ve seen in a generation. The competition pitted all 18 Big Ten schools against each other to see which school could donate the most blood.
Nearly 20,000 Big Ten students, alumni and fans across the country donated blood as part of the competition. With each donation saving up to three lives, the competition helped save as many as 60,000 lives. The competition did its part to help alleviate current nationwide blood shortages and educate people about the need for blood while inspiring blood donations across the country.
