Blood Drive Sign Up

Please mark your calendars for our 6th Annual MLK Day of Service and Celebration at King Hall on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025! 

This year we will be hosting a blood drive on-site at the School of Law on MLK Day. Additionally, we are organizing a donation drive for Umoja International Academy in East Sacramento. On MLK Day, they will also have projects on-site at their school that our community members can help with.

We will be hosting a keynote speaker (TBD) and having free lunch at the School of Law. Each volunteer also gets a free annual t-shirt that Black Law Students Association creates.

For the last five years, King Hall’s BLSA, along with the Office for Student Affairs and support from the Law Student Association, has put on a day of service and hosted a speaker for lunch. See some of our previous days of service here and here.

If you would like to donate blood on MLK Day (the truck will be parked outside of the School of Law on MLK Day) you can sign up at the link provided below through Vitalant. If you do not know your availability yet it is ok to sign up in January.
