In an effort to make the day enjoyable for employees and their kids of all ages, we are seeking your collaboration! We would like to organize a list of activities offered throughout the day for our employees. We are also planning an end-of-day celebration in the afternoon. Please email j.sandoval@colorado.edu,  karrie.pitzer@colorado.edu, and StaffCouncil@colorado.edu to let us know if your unit would like to participate by providing activities, tours, admission, etc., or if you would like a table at the afternoon event. We realize there is a decent amount of time before this event and hope that getting the word out early will help units plan a way to be involved and make it a great day! Submissions are due by April 1st. Thank you!

The holidays are a time for compassion and generosity, and one meaningful way to show care for others is by donating blood. CU Â鶹ӰԺ Staff Council and longtime partner Vitalant are excited to announce an upcoming blood drive! Each donation can save up to three lives, making a direct impact on individuals in our community facing medical emergencies, surgeries, or chronic illnesses. Let’s come together to share the gift of life this season, turning our goodwill into action.

Where: Student Recreation Center, Ice Rink Overlook
When:

• Tuesday December 3rd, 2024: 10:00 AM- 2:30 PM
• Wednesday December 4th, 2024: 10:00 AM- 2:30 PM
• Thursday December 5th, 2024: 10:00 AM- 2:30 PM

Why: Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Donating blood is a selfless and impactful act of kindness, and each donation can save up to three different lives. Hospitals in the area and medical facilities rely on voluntary blood donors to provide a steady blood supply for medical procedures, surgeries, and emergencies.

We are committed to achieving our blood drive goals, and Staff Council is confident that the CU Â鶹ӰԺ community will rise to the occasion. With your support and participation, we can surpass our December goal of sixty units per day and make a remarkable impact with each donation.

How to prepare: 

• Review eligibility criteria:
• Eat a healthy meal and stay hydrated before your donation appointment.
• Bring a valid photo ID.
• Try and get a good night’s sleep the day before.

Staff Council is committed to inclusivity and understands that some may not be eligible to donate. We invite all to be involved in other ways. For more information about volunteering at our events, please .

This December, join us for the CU Â鶹ӰԺ Staff Council Blood Drive and unite with others to make a meaningful impact in our community. By donating blood on December 3, 4, and 5, 2024, you can help save lives and bring hope to those in need. Together, we can create a powerful difference for countless individuals in our community!
