Blood drive
On April 25th, we're coming together to help save lives!
For patients in need, donated blood can change everything. Blood products are used to help people – our friends, family, neighbors and coworkers – as they treat cancer, chronic diseases and traumatic injuries. And they are only possible with the help of volunteer blood donors.
Appointments are available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome.

Plogging Day
Join us for Plogging Day on Sunday, April 21! Let's lace up our sneakers, don our gloves and make a difference together.
Hosted by Track & Field and Cross Country, Plogging Day is your chance to get active while giving back to our community. What's Plogging, you ask? It's simple yet impactful - a combination of jogging (or walking) and picking up litter along the way. Not only will you be getting in a workout, but you'll also be cleaning up our neighborhood and protecting the environment.
We'll provide the bags and gloves - all you need to bring is your enthusiasm and a friend or two!
The event will last from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Meet at the Paul V. Olsen Track inside Lindberg Stadium for your route.
To join in on the fun and make a positive difference, email chadgunnelson@augustana.edu to sign up!
Let's show our community some love and make Plogging Day one to remember!
