Be a Super Hero 
Blood is the most precious gift that anyone could give another person--a gift of life. Donating blood can save more than just a single life when it is separated into its components: red cells, platelets, and plasma, which can be used by up to three patients with specific conditions.
On Thursday, December 22nd, a student blood drive will be held at Dallastown Area High School. Coordinated by high school senior Mady Sharp and Anatomy & Physiology teacher Tad Gould, the drive will be administered by the Central Penn Blood Bank. Be a Super Hero--be a donor--and help the high school students reach their goal of 100 donated units.
