Thank You to Our Red Cross Blood Drive Donors

Thank you to everyone who donated blood at our February 13 blood drive, helping give the gift of life to someone in need in our community. According to the American Red Cross, every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. It is essential for surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. Just one pint of donated blood can help save as many as three people’s lives. The ACS February blood drive was a very successful event that collected 27 pints of blood, according to Student Council Advisor Dave Genter, who oversaw the blood drive. The total amount of blood collected at this drive and one held at ACS last summer reached a level that has qualified one ACS high school senior to receive a $250 scholarship for his or her efforts in assisting with the drives. The recipient of the senior scholarship will be announced and awarded at Baccalaureate.
