Help the Fighting Illini Win $1 Million—and Score Exclusive Illini Merch!🩸

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is joining the Big Ten® in the We Give Blood competition—and we need YOU to help us rise to the top!

When you donate blood now through December 5, 2025, at any on-campus blood drive, you’ll receive a limited-edition Homefield® vintage Illini T-shirt*—a stylish way to show your school spirit while supporting a life-saving cause.*

Here’s how to get involved:

  1. 🗓 Donate blood on campus between August 27–December 5, 2025.
    👉 Schedule your appointment at BigTen.org/Abbott/illinois

  2. 📲 Register your donation at BigTen.org/Abbott/submit or text ‘DONATE’ to 222688 (ABBOTT) to claim your tee and give Illinois credit.


The university with the most donations wins $1 million from Abbott to support student or community health initiatives—and we want Illinois to take the crown!

Let’s turn Illini pride into life-saving action. Spread the word and go I-L-L!
