Did you know that every two seconds somebody in the United States is receiving a blood transfusion?

The holidays are traditionally a difficult time for blood centers to collect enough blood to meet demand. To help fill this critical need, our High School National Honor Society is partnering with Versiti Blood Center of Michigan to host a blood drive on Thursday, December 7 from 8:00 AM-2:00 PM in the High School Gym Lobby.

Members of the public are welcome and encouraged to participate. Christmas cookies, snacks, and drinks will be provided to all donors. You can sign up for a donation appointment online here: https://donate.michigan.versiti.org/.../drive.../153551

We hope you’ll join our students in this effort! To patients relying on donated blood, there is no greater gift this holiday season.
