(WGTD)---Kenosha Mayor Dave Bogdala wants the city to do its part to support the University of Wisconsin by turning out to donate blood.
Bogdala—a former Abbott Labs employee—is urging residents to participate in the company’s blood donation promotion that pits Big 10 schools against each other, with the school that logs that largest number of donations winning $1 million.
Last year the UW came in second place.
The winning school will be announced at the Big Ten championship game in December.
Locally, a series of blood drives will kick off Wednesday at the Kenosha Public Museum. Those who show up to donate and log their donation in the competition will be eligible to receive an exclusive, limited-edition Wisconsin T-shirt while supplies last.
More information is available here.
Donation totals are being tracked live on that website.
