The Sacramento region can transform lives with Vitalant while determining which area university wins the 12th Annual Causeway Classic Blood Drive this fall. The blood drive is a friendly and spirited competition between University of California, Davis and Sacramento State University as students, staff, and administrators tap into their life-transforming potential to determine which university can encourage the most blood donations. At the end of the competition period, the school that recruits the most registered blood donors is declared the winner.
The Causeway Classic Blood Drive begins at UC Davis on the East and West Quad. The drive then heads to Sacramento State inside the University Union Ballroom. During the drive, donors can also join the Be The Match marrow registry courtesy of Vitalant (Ages 18-44), providing another free way to save lives.
UC Davis currently leads the all-time series, seven to four. In 2018, more than 2,100 participants supported both schools, with UC Davis winning by 43 participants.
All participants will receive a CA Bear Donor T-shirt. All participating campus groups at each university will be entered in to two drawings for a chance to win up to $1,250. The campus group garnering the most participation will have the best chance to win.
Community members throughout Northern California can also contribute towards either the UC Davis or Sacramento State donor total by giving blood at any Vitalant donation center or blood drive during Oct. 14-Oct. 25. Upon registration, participants can simply declare their support for UC Davis donor club “1735” or Sacramento State donor club “L029” and have their donation count towards the total for their chosen university.
