Dear Community of Hays,

We have been given the opportunity to help with a lifesaving mission. On Thursday, March 31st, Hays High Student Council is hosting an American Red Cross Blood Drive. The drive will be held at the Hays High Gym, 2300 E 13th from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Red Cross depends on volunteer blood donors, such as the people in our community, to ensure a safe and adequate blood supply. Your blood donation could give life to friends and neighbors: a teenage accident victim who lives around the corner; a young mother experiencing childbirth complications; or an elementary school teacher battling cancer. People like this are urgently awaiting an act of kindness from you.

If you are in general good health, at least 16 years of age-with parent permission- and weigh at least 110 pounds, I hope you will consider taking time out of your busy schedule to donate blood. Your donation could help three different patients. By giving a small amount of your time, you will help to ensure there is life-giving blood on the shelves when it is needed.

An appointment for this Blood Drive is preferred. For more information on donating blood and scheduling an appointment at the Hays High Student Council Blood Drive, please call the Hays High Office at 623-2600 and they will answer any questions.

 

Sincerely,

Emily Prine

HHS Student Council President
