KALAMAZOO—Students, faculty and staff at Western Michigan University are competing with Central Michigan University through Friday, April 3, to see which school can collect the most blood for local people in need and the American Red Cross. The WMU-CMU American Red Cross Blood Challenge began Monday, March 23.

A blood drive is scheduled for noon to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 2, in the Student Recreation Center.

Those who donate blood during this year's competition will receive a "Blood Battle" T-shirt while supplies last.
