MADISON — This fall marks the second annual We Give Blood drive, a collaboration between Abbott Health and the Big Ten.

The Wisconsin Badgers are once again competing in the drive which began on Aug. 27. The goal is for UW-Madison students, alumni and fans to record more blood donations than students, alumni and fans of other Big Ten schools.

According to a release from UW-Madison, the winning school gets $1 million to put towards student and community health.

In 2024, Nebraska swept the competition, with Wisconsin placing second at just more than 2,000 donors.
