ARUP Blood Services is now a proud partner of the University of Utah and U Athletics.
ARUP Blood Services announced today a new partnership with the University of Utah and U Athletics. The collaboration will help raise awareness about the ongoing need for local blood donors while creating new opportunities to engage and reward Utah fans who step up to save lives.
The partnership reflects the close relationship between ARUP Blood Services and U of U Health.
"As the sole supplier of blood products for University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics and the Huntsman Cancer Institute, this was a natural next step for us," said Deb Jordan, community relations supervisor at ARUP Blood Services.
Jordan hopes the partnership will help shine a light on the critical need for blood here in Utah.
"We want the public to know that we are Utah's local blood bank. When you give with ARUP, your donation stays in Utah to help support patients at the U."
One of the most exciting benefits of the partnership is the ability to offer more athletics tickets and experiences for blood donors.
"We want to reward Utah fans who take time out of their day to help save lives," Jordan said. "We're excited to see the impact this collaboration will have on the local blood supply and our ability to connect with donors across Utah."
Just one blood donation can save up to three lives. Call 801-584-5272 today or visit our Donor Portal to find out how you can donate.
