To celebrate the final season of “Game of Thrones,” HBO and the American Red Cross have partnered to ask fans and blood donors to #BleedForTheThrone this spring. UNCG’s last EUC Blood Drive of the semester will be one of 20 blood drives across the country to take part in this promotion.
The blood drive is scheduled for Tuesday, April 2, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Elliott University Center. As part of the partnership, participants who donate at UNCG Blood Drive on April 2 will receive a limited-edition Bleed For The Throne T-shirt and other items, while supplies last. Donors will also receive the new edition EUC Blood Drive t-shirt.
UNCG was selected by the American Red Cross to participate in the Bleed For The Throne drive due in large part to its highly successful blood drives. According to the American Red Cross, UNCG hosted one of the top 100 single-day blood drives in the country in 2018, with more than 300 pints donated at last September’s drive.
For seven seasons, the characters of “Game of Thrones” have bled for the Iron Throne, and now the Red Cross is joining the battle for the living by asking all eligible individuals to help alleviate blood shortages in the real world.
