For those not able to get to the Ann Arbor area to help U-M in the battle against OSU, there is a new opportunity this year. The Big Ten and healthcare company Abbott are teaming up to host “The We Give Blood Drive,” a competition among all 18-member university athletic departments to boost the U.S. blood supply.
Anyone who donates blood before Dec. 6, including during the Blood Battle, can upload a photo of themselves donating or a photo of their donation receipt at www.BigTen.org/Abbott and select which Big Ten school they would like to support with their donation. More information about the competition and Michigan’s place in the standings is also available at the website.
The winning Big Ten school will be announced during the 2024 Discover® Big Ten Football Championship Game on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN. The winning school will receive $1M to advance student or community health.
