Students ages 16 and up, along with parents and other adults in the community, are invited to give blood at an American Red Cross Blood Drive, hosted by Community Engagement Programs and Partnerships (CEPP).
The blood drive is scheduled for Tuesday, February 27, in Wigg Hall. Email community_engagement@milton.edu for an appointment time. Donors must be in good health and should plan to spend about an hour for the process, including giving medical and travel history and recovery after donating (with pizza, cookies or juice!).
Students who are 16 must bring a signed parent consent form to the blood drive. Donors 17 and older do not need a consent form. Each blood donation can help up to three different people in need.
The Red Cross has requirements for donors, including height and weight minimums, and has a resource page for student donors on its website.
