Give the gift of life this holiday season

Make gift-giving a life-saving experience this holiday season.

Wilfrid Laurier University is a Canadian Blood Services' Partner for Life. As a partner, Laurier employees, alumni, students, family and friends are invited to donate blood at a Canadian Blood Services (CBS) clinic in December, a time of year when donations tend to decline. Your donation can help Laurier fulfil our pledge of 425 donations in 2019. We need 113 more to reach our goal!

To have your donation included in Laurier’s pledge, you must either:

• Fill out the Partners for Life Member Registration Form prior to donating with Laurier’s partner ID (WILF001529).
• Tell the staff when you arrive at the clinic that you would like your donation to count towards Laurier’s pledge.

Canadian Blood Services has donor centres located throughout Laurier’s campus communities. In Waterloo, donate at the CBS clinic at 94 Bridgeport Road East during the following times:

• ​​Mondays and Thursdays: 3 to 7 p.m.
• Tuesdays and Wednesdays: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• Fridays and Saturdays: 8 a.m. to noon
• Dec. 24: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• Dec. 25: Closed
• Dec. 26: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• New Year's Eve: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

You can also search the CBS online map of donor centres to find one near you. Walk-in appointments are welcome, or you can book a time online​ or call 1.888.2.DONATE.
