Every two seconds someone in the US needs blood. Due to the vitality of blood for everyday life, it cannot be manufactured and can only be donated. On May 17th you could be one of the 6.8 million people who donate blood and help save countless lives. Your single donation can save the lives of many, helping much more than just one individual. While we are planning to have a large student turnout, and we ask that you encourage your teen students (Ages 18, and 16 and 17 with parent permission) to donate as well, we need participation from the whole community to make the biggest impact possible.

That means YOU parents!

Last week, we had our first 10 donors sign-up and we are looking for 30 more to help us reach our goal of collecting 26 pints!

Upon participation, snacks, $10 gift card to, and donor t-shirts will be available to all that give blood!

You can sign up here: https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=Great%20River&cid=siebel&med=email&source=bdc_email&utm_source=siebel&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bdc_email

Appointments are available from 8am to 2pm!

We are counting on you!
