52 Units Collected at FCCLA Red Cross Blood Drive

September 20, 2024

FCCLA Members resister donors for the drive.

Fifty-two units were collected at the Red Cross Blood Drive, hosted by Plainview FCCLA Members, on Wednesday, September 18, at Plainview High School. With a goal set by the Red Cross of 40 donations, the drive surpassed its goal due to all 52 donation time slots being filled and walk-ins filling in for those who were unable to attend as planned. With the increased use of Rapid Pass and appointments, the donation process went smoothly. Donors were treated to a meal of taverns, chips, and a variety of cookies prepared by the FCS students at the High School.

"We would like to thank everyone for coming in to donate blood and for scheduling their appointments. The use of Rapid Pass made the process go quickly." stated FCCLA Adviser Ronita Jacobsen. "Everyone’s donations and commitment to donating is greatly appreciated. A special thank you to everyone for signing up online."

The next blood drive will be held Tuesday, November 19, from 9 am-3 pm in the Plainview High School Tartan Gym. “Our goal is again 40 units and there are 55 appointment slots available. Online registration is open, and donors are already signing up. You can sign up online at redcross.org to make an appointment. Registering early ensures the time slot that works best for you. As a reminder, the total number of donations received throughout the school year determines the amount of scholarship money provided to our Plainview High School students from the Red Cross.” stated Jacobsen.
