San Antonio Blood and Tissue Center holding blood drive in honor of ‘210 Day’

The South Texas Blood & Tissue Center and UTSA are hosting a blood drive at the UTSA campus to celebrate 210 Day, emphasizing community unity and lifesaving impact.

SAN ANTONIO — The South Texas Blood & Tissue Center is teaming up with UTSA for a unique blood drive honorning the Alamo City and its biggest university.

It’s the second annual 210 Day Blood Drive in honor of UTSA 210 Day! Every year, Feb. 10 holds a special place in the hearts of San Antonians, mimicking our signature area code of 210.

In 2023, the City of San Antonio and the Bexar County Commissioners Court proclaimed Feb. 10 as UTSA 210 Day.

The blood drive happening Tuesday will take place on the UTSA campus. Those donating blood will receive a limited edition “I’m a Rowdy 210 Blood Donor T-shirt” and be entered to win one of five footballs autographed by Head Football Coach Jeff Traylor.

The blood drive is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1 UTSA Circle.
