The Blood Battle is an annual blood drive competition between Ohio State and the University of Michigan that takes place in the weeks leading up to The Game. The goal is to extend the athletic rivalry beyond the field and collect more pints of blood than Ohio State. The Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society participates in organizing and hosting one blood drive in collaboration with Blood Drives United to encourage the habitants of UM’s North Campus to donate blood to tackle the ongoing shortage being experienced by the Red Cross. Appointments may be made at https://redcrossblood.org using sponsor code "goblue". Donors are eligible for free t-shirts, food, and the chance to win prizes. Give blood and Beat OSU!
