Jack Shockley Warriors for Peace Blood Drive: Dec. 3, 4 |
Jack Shockley, BCHS Class of 2014, was the victim of a violent murder on August 12, 2020. Though Jack is one of our own, a parish member, a classmate, a co-worker and a friend, he is just one example of the violence that is happening in Indianapolis.
There is a severe shortage in our blood supply, part of which can be attributed to violence in our city. Help us mitigate the unwarranted loss of life by ensuring that we have the blood supply to help the victims of this senseless violence. Donate a pint of your blood so that others can live through the Jack Shockley Warriors for Peace Memorial Blood Drive.
The drive will also be accepting new or gently used childrens’s books and toys to support Purpose 4 My Pains’s Seventh Annual Christmas with a Purpose.
Blood Drive Details
- Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022: 8:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
- Sunday, Dec. 4, 2022: 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
- Tuohy Hall, Christ the King Parish
**Please bring photo ID, eat and hydrate.
