Abstract
This is an experience report considering the period between 2014 and 2019, carried out in a city in the interior of Minas Gerais state, Brazil and in a private university. It aims to describe extension activities that look to increase the enrollment of university blood and bone marrow donors. Data were collected from thank you letters sent by a foundation responsible for collecting blood and blood products in Minas Gerais. There was an increase of 29.9% in blood donations and 100% in registrations for bone marrow donation after the awareness actions carried out from the extension program “Amizade Compatível – uma doação para a vida”, compared to isolated actions in years prior to the program. It was observed that awareness was a differential for the academic community to adhere to blood and blood products donation.
