Columbia University, one of the largest suppliers of blood and blood products in the NYC and metropolitan areas, is once again proud to host our annual Black History Month blood drives in honor of Dr. Charles R. Drew, M.D. (Physicians & Surgeons, ’40) who became the first African American to not only earn a Medical Science doctorate (MSD) from Columbia, but also the first African-American to do so in the United States.  He’s been named by the American Chemical Society as “one of the most important scientists of the 20^th century”.

The need for blood is great, but so is the opportunity.  Let this be an opportunity for you to impact the lives of others. One single pint can save THREE lives!
