BigTen blood drive: help Michigan defeat rival B10 schools and get a free Go Blue t-shirt

The Big Ten Conference has created another competition with healthcare sponsor Abbott to launch the “We Give Blood” competition among BigTen schools.

The charitable purpose seeks to address the current severe blood shortage in the United States.

FREE 'GO BLUE' GIVE BLOOD T-SHIRT

This initiative taps into school spirit and collegiate rivalries to encourage students, alumni, and fans of all 18 Big Ten universities to donate blood during the college football season.

The competition runs from August 27 to December 5, 2025.

The school with the most donations will receive a $1 million grant from Abbott to support student or community health initiatives.

The winner will be announced at the Big Ten Football Championship Game on December 6.

After donating, you can claim your free limited edition Homefield T-shirt.
