From Monday, April 18 through Friday, May 27, donors who present to give blood or platelets at select Missouri-Illinois Blood Services Region donation centers can donate on behalf of their favorite Big Ten school. The school with the most presenting donors wins bragging rights.

To participate on behalf of the Gateway Badgers, make an appointment at or visit one of the following donation centers, put your name and "University of Wisconsin" on the signup page, and roll up your sleeve!
