Scholarship Blood Drive

My name is Stephanie Metal and I am hosting a scholarship blood drive at Christ Lutheran Church on July 29th from 8:30am-2:30pm.

I will be a junior music education student at Lebanon Valley College next fall and hosting this blood drive will allow me the chance to raise up to $500 to put towards college next fall. I would really appreciate your support because even though less people donate blood in the summer, the SAME AMOUNT of blood is needed. Your donation could even help save up to 3 lives!

In order to be eligible to donate you need to:

- Bring a photo ID
- Be a minimum of 110 lbs
- Be age 16-75 (16 with parental permission)
- Eat well and drink fluids
- Have had no tattoos for the past 12 months

If you will not be able to donate, or know of any friends who might be willing to, please invite them!
