From October 20 to 22, 2026, the ACG Community came together once again to support patients in need through one of the College’s most enduring acts of care: donating blood.
Students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, partners, and friends participated in ACG’s biannual three-day Blood Drive in support of NIMTS & Agios Savvas Hospitals, the Hellenic Red Cross and AURORA, an organization aiding patients with hematological diseases since 2018.
Over the course of three days, we welcomed 139 volunteers who registered to donate at the Deree Student Lounge, ACG Campus. Following the required pre-donation health screening, 114 successfully donated blood.
In collaboration with the Hellenic Red Cross, the event also provided an opportunity to learn more about the importance of bone marrow donation. Interested volunteers gave saliva samples to determine whether they could be potential matches.
The initiative was organized by ACG Health & Wellness, the Office of Sustainability-Public Affairs, and the Office of Student Affairs, with support from the ACG Sustainability Leaders and the Deree Student Association (DSA).
Because ACG Cares!
