Prep hosted its annual blood drive in the gym on March 10 through Vitalant, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit blood and biotherapies healthcare organizations, which provides hospitals and patients across the U.S. a safe blood supply.
Students aged 16 and older, faculty, staff, alumni, and parents were welcomed to take part in this important effort, which was organized, in part, by a student-led committee through the Office of Student Life.
Committee members rallied their classmates and handed out permission slips at last week’s Performing Arts Assembly.
Upon gathering in the English Building that morning, students, who were instructed to eat a hearty breakfast that day, checked in before proceeding to the donation site set up beneath the watchful eye of one of the Marauders adorning the walls of our gymnasium. Bottled water and an assortment of snacks were on-hand to keep donors’ energy up.
We thank everyone who participated and made an impact.
