Wildcat fans!
 
We know you're loyal Northwestern supporters, but do you truly bleed purple?
 
On November 15, you will have the exclusive opportunity to show off your Wildcat pride in one of Chicago's most iconic venues – Wrigley Field. This is the day before Northwestern faces Ohio State at the storied stadium.
 
Abbott has partnered with the Big Ten, Northwestern and Wrigley Field to offer you the chance to donate blood at Wrigley Field on Friday, November 15 as a part of The We Give Blood Drive campaign, a competition among Big Ten schools to see who can raise the most blood donations. All donors will get the chance to:
  • Single: Exclusive access to Wrigley Field properties before game day
  • Double:  After donating, take a photo on the field at Wrigley
  • Triple: Save three lives by donating blood
  • Grand Slam: The first 50 people to donate will be given a private behind-the-scenes tour of Wrigley Field at a later date.
Details and registration are included below.
 
The We Give Blood Drive @ Wrigley Field
  • Date: Friday, November 15, 2024
  • Time: 10am – 6pm CT
  • Location: Wrigley Field (1101 W Waveland Ave, Chicago, IL 60613)  
  • Registration Link
The need for blood in the U.S. has never been greater, as we're currently in the largest blood shortage of our generation and with the holidays approaching the need will only increase. One donation can save up to three lives and can help Northwestern compete to win The We Give Blood Drive competition and $1 million for student and community health.
 
It's getting into the later innings of the Abbott-Big Ten blood drive competition, so now is the time to step up for both Northwestern and our community.  It's time to roll up your sleeves, donate blood, support Northwestern and have some fun while you're at it.
 
We hope to see you at Wrigley Field on Friday, November 15! Go 'Cats!
