  • Carolina Clemson Blood Drive Dates - Fall 2024

Carolina Clemson Blood Battle

One of the largest blood drives in the country is held annually the week before the Carolina-Clemson football game. USC competes with Clemson in collecting blood for local hospitals and life-saving procedures. During the 2023 Blood Battle, USC collected 2,343 pints and saved 7,029 lives. Along with Clemson, we collected 7,014 pints of blood and saved 21,042 lives. The drive comes at the start of the holiday season when blood donations typically decrease. The Carolina-Clemson Blood Drive Committee is the second-largest student-run organization on USC's campus.

Join our organization through Garnet Gate
