Everyone 16 years and older are encouraged to donate, but students that are 16 require a signed permission slip by a parent or legal guardian which will be given at sign up.

“I encourage people to donate blood,” student representative Allison Yancey said. “It helps save lives, and you never know what kind of impact it may have.”
