BUFFALO ISLAND CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL: Blood Drive – Monette Community

The Red Cross saw a steep drop in blood donations last month, so we are asking donors to make appointments now to prevent a blood shortage this summer. In June, the Red Cross collected approximately 12% fewer blood donations than needed – one of the largest monthly blood donation shortfalls in recent years.

The Red Cross has a scholarship incentive program. Last year with the donations that BIC received, we were able to give a $250 scholarship. The more blood donations we have, the bigger the scholarship gets. The donations from this upcoming drive will benefit the BIC scholarship.

We have teamed up with Discovery and Shark Week to get your donor’s hearts pumping. When you come to give at your blood drive in July, you will receive a NEW Shark Week T-shirt, ltd qty, and automatically be entered for a chance to win an exclusive Shark Week merchandise package — thanks to Discovery! This awesome outdoor adventure package includes a beach bike, smokeless portable fire pit, paddle board, kayak, and a $500 gift card to put toward accessories.
