Thank you to those who donated in helping create a successful blood drive! We had 95 total registrations and received enough donations to save 243 lives! I also want to congratulate you on an incredible milestone – donations on behalf of McClure Health Science High School have gone on to save 333 total lives this year. LifeSouth is the primary supplier for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and an overwhelming number of these donations go on to help kids suffering from chronic, debilitating sicknesses. McClure Health Science High School embodies the spirit of “Making a Difference” that we champion here at LifeSouth.
Please see the great feedback from one of the organizers at LifeSouth:
"On a personal note, we really had fun at this blood drive. The student body was on the whole respectful, kind, and enthusiastic about helping others. These young adults are a credit to
both their school and their community."
We are so proud of our Pulse Family! Thank you!
