Spring Blood Drive is Feb. 18–19
Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs a blood transfusion — and this life-saving intervention is only possible because of selfless individuals who choose to donate blood. Recent blood drives around the country have been canceled due to natural disasters and infrastructure problems. We have the space, the people and the willingness to help, so join the DA Upper School Red Cross Club in giving the gift of life!
