The NOC blood drive set a new record for the second year in a row for pints donated to the Oklahoma Blood Institute.
Last year the record was set with 163 pints and this year 211 people turned out with 178 pints being donated – beating last year’s record.
OBI staff member Ashley Rumford had some thoughts on using the new Renfro Nursing Center.
“We love it, its way better in the nursing center then in the student union,” Rumford said.
For those who missed the blood drive the OBI team will be back in January hoping to break the record again. Donators must be at least 17 years old, weight at least 110 pounds and be in good health. There is no longer a wait time for those with tattoos obtained from a licensed facility.
Rumsford said the OBI was grateful to Dr. Roger Stacy for allowing the use of the NOC facilities.

If it is under the second year moving the OBI then I feel better about going short.
