Students Save Lives at Blood Drive
December 5, 2015
On Nov. 9 and 10, Mater Dei hosted the first Red Cross Blood Drive of the year. With a great turnout, there was a common sentiment echoed when asking why they were donating.
“It’s just a really great opportunity to help save lives,” said senior Carissa Adams.
The free food and surprisingly current music was a big plus for some, the importance of the blood drive was made even more pronounced by the presence of junior Charlie Wiggs.
“I wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for this type of thing, I had a blood transfusion a few years ago,” Wiggs said.
Although giving up a liter of blood may seem daunting, the Mater Dei community, as always, was ready and willing to help those in need.
