SIGN UP NOW TO DONATE


Every whole blood donation helps three patients in need. The blood is separated into three parts — red blood cells, plasma, and platelets — with each becoming a life-saving treatment.

Student donors receive a free t-shirt and earn Homecoming Points for their organization in the HC Student Competition.
