Blood Drive

Student Council Blood Drive - May 4, 2026

Student Council is sponsoring a Blood Drive on May 4, 2026. The drive will be held at the high school from 11:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., set up in the hallway behind the gymnasium. Every donation truly matters. If we collect a minimum of 30 units of blood, our school will earn a $500 scholarship to be awarded to a deserving senior. Each additional donation helps grow that scholarship even more. Your participation directly supports both patients in need and our students.

This event is open to community members, and donors are eligible to receive a $20 Amazon gift card. Giving blood is a small investment of time that can save lives and make a lasting difference right here at home. We hope you will join us for this meaningful, life‑saving event!
