Students at Sturgeon Bay High School are helping with a life-saving event on Friday. HOSA (Future Health Professionals) is teaming up with the Community Blood Center to host a blood drive at the high school. Many areas have reported a severe shortage of blood donations brought on by the pandemic. School advisor Natalie Townsend says that three lives can be saved from just one blood donation. She notes the student will be helping with the set-up for the blood drive.
The blood drive will take place in the multi-purpose room at Sturgeon Bay High School from 8 am until 2:30 pm. Donors can register online as openings still remain. An additional benefit to donating blood is that the testing for COVID-19 anti-bodies will be done as well. Townsend adds that this is the first of four blood drives the HOSA club will host this school year.
