AMSA Vampire Cup

The Vampire Cup is AMSA’s annual blood donation drive, run as a competition between Australian medical schools to see who can donate the most blood! Australian Red Cross Lifeblood facilitates our national blood drive with each university having a Lifeblood donation group to electronically record donation numbers. In 2023, the competition ran from April 2nd to May 31st with each whole blood, plasma or platelet donation counting as 1 point to your university tally. The race to save lives begins soon with students able to donate as many times as possible during the eight week period in order to claim glory for their university! As not all students are eligible to donate blood, any donations from family, friends, colleagues or acquaintances can count towards their university tally – so spread the word and get donating!
