MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Congratulations Blue Raider Nation! Thanks to you, MTSU has retained the Blood Battle vs. WKU trophy for the fourth time in a row, with 480 units of blood being donated to the American Red Cross of Tennessee over the three-day Blood Drive earlier this month on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University.
A total of 586 donors, 312 of which were first-time donors to the American Red Cross, combined to donate 480 units, easily surpassing WKU's 351 total units. The American Red Cross estimates that MTSU's blood donation will save as many as 1386 lives.
