The Annual Jaden Blake Memorial Blood Drive
The Jaden Blake Memorial Blood Drive is held annually in memory of GVSU student Jaden Blake with the intention of addressing blood shortages, addressing the lack of donors in African American communities, and highlighting the critical need for diverse donors.
This year, free snacks and pajama pants will be provided to all donors. The first 75 donors will also receive free lunch.
