Bisons student-athletes and coaches have always made their efforts towards making positive community impact a priority.
This uncertain time and cancellation of competition for the 2020-21 sports season has driven the men's basketball team, led by head coach, Kirby Schepp and forward James Wagner, to create a competition that encourages athletes from all Bisons teams compete against each other in a blood drive for
Canadian Blood Services. This competition provides athletes and coaches with the opportunity to meet their competitive needs while having significant impact on their community.
"Now, more than ever, blood donations are needed, and our goal is to provide support to our community just as our community has and continues to support us," said James Wagner.
Each team will compete to get the highest number of blood donations though
Canadian Blood Services from teammates, friends, and family. Each donation will go toward their specific team total. The goal of the blood drive will be to have 375 total blood donations which will be tracked from December 1-31. Tune in to our social channels for updates and coverage of the competition.
Canadian Blood Services is in constant need. With all blood donations staying in Manitoba and used within the week to help save a life, the Bisons are happy to answer the call – with a little friendly competition – to reach a common goal of supporting their community.
