This Halloween, “Ve vant your blood” to save lives

On October 31, Edgewood High School will partner with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive. 

The Red Cross has provided humanitarian aid for more than 130 years—almost since Edgewood’s founding— including more than 70 years of supplying blood to those in need. Each pint of blood we collect can help save up to three lives and will touch the lives of so many more. What a great way to pay it forward and make an impact on people in our community and across the country.

It’s not every day that we do something that has such a lifesaving importance. Let’s show the community and the patients in need of blood just how much we can do! 

If you are interested in donating blood, the process typically takes 1 hour, and the Red Cross prefers appointments to avoid longer wait times. Please schedule an appointment by clicking this link or go to redcrossblood.org and type in the sponsor code: edgewood high in the "Find a Blood Drive" box.
