Bleed for a Cause Underway

Five organizations on the University of Cincinnati campus are currently participating in the Bleed for a Cause competition to win big money for their chosen charity. There is no deadline for registration, but groups are encouraged to join the competition early as points are tallied each week.

Organizations will compete to score points by recruiting blood donors. The stakes are high: the top organization will win $5,000 for their chosen charity/philanthropy.
