Tiger and Gamecock Fans encouraged to roll up their Sleeves

Fans of the Clemson Tigers and South Carolina Gamecocks are being encouraged to roll up their sleeves and donate blood this week. This is a friendly competition for a good cause, says the American Red Cross. The 33rd annual Carolina-Clemson Blood Drive runs through Friday, Nov. 17. Donations are being accepted locally at the Clemson University Palmetto Ballroom inside Edgar Brown Union at 527 Fort Hill Street, each day from 10am to 7pm. Donors don’t have to make appointments. The annual American Red Cross blood drive is held the week before the Palmetto Bowl each year. This year the Clemson Tigers travel to Columbia to play the South Carolina Gamecocks in Williams-Brice Stadium.
