Hospitals in the Phoenix area are in dire need of blood donations, so the Pre-Med Club wants to help out the community by hosting a blood drive at Horizon Honors. The club got involved with the United Blood Services through Science Teacher Amanda Bors, who held a drive at her old school. President of the Pre-Med Club, senior Brogan Taylor stated that, “All blood types are needed badly, especially O negative… and the blood that gets donated will go to hospitals all over Arizona and Puerto Rico.”

The blood drive will take place in the Multi-Purpose Room from 10 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 17. The blood drive needs at least 50 donors to show up, and there have been ten sign-ups in one week already. Remember, Eagles, this drive will help with the lack of blood in the hospitals in  the area. All the students who donate will have a chance to earn community service hours. The donor qualifications are listed at http://www.unitedbloodservices.org/pdf/BS300L-UBS.pdf.

The Pre-Med Club is looking forward to a great turnout, so if you’re looking into donating, don’t forget to sign up.
