This blood drive launches the 3rd Annual I-96 Blood Battle, a blood drive competition with Davenport University, which culminates in a trophy presentation during the basketball games between the two schools. This year's trophy presentation will be held on Feb. 22, when the Panthers host the Warriors in Grand Rapids (women tip-off at 1pm, and men tip-off at 3pm).
