Red Cross Offers Scholarship

This summer, high school and college students can win a scholarship by hosting an American Red Cross blood drive through the “Leaders Save Lives” program. The Leaders Save Lives program encourages community-minded 16 to 24-year-olds to host blood drives to help maintain the blood supply over the summer months. Students who participate as a blood drive coordinator are eligible to win a scholarship up to $2,500 for higher education and to earn a gift card. A total of 10 scholarships will be awarded via drawing to students who achieve 100 percent of their blood drive collections goal. All students who achieve the designated blood drive goal will receive an electronic gift card to giftcertificates.com. Registration is now open to host a participating blood drive between June 1st and August 31st.
