Yes, you DO save lives!

Did you know that about half of the blood needed by patients in this country comes from high school blood drives? By donating blood and coordinating blood drives at your high school, you offer an important community service by making sure that blood is available when people need it. All of the information you need to make your school’s blood drive a success is available through your Account Manager and in the High School Blood Drive Planning Guide.

In addition to helping your community, as a blood drive chairperson or participant, you are also eligible to apply for a $500 college scholarship. Select the application for your area and submit by deadline. (Deadlines vary by area.)
