HHS Blood Drive

You can help to save lives! On March 31, 2015, Hawthorne High School will host its annual Blood Drive. The blood drive will take place in the small gym from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Students 16 years and older are able to participate but must register and get a permission slip from Student Council Coordinator Danielle Russo.

According to CommunityBloodServices.org, “Nationally, less than 5 percent of the population donates blood. In NJ, less than 3 percent of the population donates.” But at Hawthorne High School, the participation rate has always been high. Russo said, “We always have a great turn out, the Community Blood Services in Paramus loves coming to our school. It’s a great way to give back, and to help save a life!” On its website, the American Red Cross states, “One pint of blood can save up to three lives!”

Help save a life and make sure to come out on March 31 and support the Community Blood Services in Paramus!
