Austin Peay blood drive: Donate and receive free COVID-19 antibody test
(Posted Sept. 30, 2020)
Austin Peay State University will host a free Red Cross Blood Drive on Tuesday, Oct. 6, in the Morgan University Center Ballroom on campus.
The Red Cross will test all blood donations for COVID-19 antibodies during the 8 a.m.-1 p.m. blood drive. Trained Red Cross staff will provide equipment and supplies, including snacks and drinks at the end of the donation process.
To streamline the donation experience and save up to 15 minutes, donors can visit to complete the pre-donation reading and health history questions on the day of the appointment.
All donors will be entered in a drawing for a $25 Visa gift card and can see their results online or on the Red Cross app within 1-2 weeks of the donation.
To schedule a blood donation appointment, visit and use the sponsor code “APSU.â€
For more information on your eligibility to donate blood and details on the antibody testing, visit or call 1-800-RED CROSS.
