Pirates Give Blood

Saint Edward's School conducted a blood drive on Tuesday through OneBlood. The drive yielded 39 pints of blood, donated by students, faculty and staff, building on last year's fall contributions by five pints! OneBlood calculated that over 100 patients could benefit from these lifesaving efforts. Contributing to the planning and execution of the drive were juniors Alice Crean of the Medicine in Action Club and Matthew Barrett of the Community Service Club, along with various members of the two clubs who helped at the hospitality table and watched over donors after they gave. These clubs would like to thank the participants for giving to supply others in need in our area. Mark your calendars now – a second blood drive is scheduled for February 12.
