Become a blood donor and help save others’ lives. Donating blood is a quick, easy way to give back to your community and help others. The BloodCenter of Wisconsin relies on your donation to supply blood products to the Wisconsin community hospitals and patients in need. Please donate.
Catholic Central High School’s Student Council is hosting their annual fall blood drive on Monday, Nov.23rd. Stop in the New Gym between the hours of 8a.m. and 1p.m. to donate. Register for an appointment online (www.bcw.edu/CCHS) or by contacting the Student Council advisor (Susan at sdosemagen@cchsnet.org 262.763.1510 ext.206). Walk-ins are welcome.
This fall blood drive is incredibly important to the Blood Center as they prepare for the holiday season.
