Give Blood, Get Burrito

This week, students can earn a free Qdoba burrito and other shopping discounts and help save lives at the same time. At Eastern Mountain Sports today and Friday, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., students can donate blood at the last Red Cross blood drive of the school year and, in return, receive a coupon for a free Qdoba burrito among other shopping discounts.

"Giving blood is a really good way to help those people who can't help themselves," said Godwin O. Abiola '14, the Harvard College Red Cross publicity chair. "All you have to do is sit there and the nurses will take care of you. It's one of the easiest ways to help out your fellow person."

In addition to a feeling of satisfaction from helping others (and perhaps a twinge of dizziness), donors will receive discounts at Eastern Mountain Sports and a free Qdoba burrito.

To book an appointment, students can sign up online or call (781) 461-2025. Even if students are ineligible to donate blood, they can still sign up to volunteer at the event.
