Donors Urgently Needed for the February 14 Blood Drive

The Stewardship Club will host a Valentine’s Day blood drive on Wednesday, February 14 from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. in Steeber Commons (in the Upper School). Blood donors of all blood types are urgently needed.

It’s easy to make an appointment online; just use the sponsor code “TSS” to find the Steward drive. You can also download the Blood Donor app, which helps you schedule and manage appointments. When you give between February 1-29, the Red Cross will email you a $20 Amazon.com gift card to thank you!  

The American Red Cross is experiencing an emergency blood shortage as the nation faces the lowest number of people giving blood in 20 years. Your blood donation will help alleviate the shortage and ensure lifesaving medical procedures are not delayed.

All adult members of the community are welcome to participate, as are students who are at least 17 (or 16, with a signed parental consent form). Read information for teen donors.

Upper School Math Teacher Barbara Filler, who sponsors the Stewardship Club, said, “Our club emphasizes the importance of community outreach. Donating blood is an easy way to make a difference in someone else’s life.”
