GHS BLOOD DRIVE INFO - Sept 21-22 2016
We have only around 10 appointments signed up at this point. THE DRIVE IS AT RISK OF BEING CANCELLED!!!!

Yes- Even if you go to another school you can still sign up, just need to do it as early as you can so you do not miss too much of our class! 

17-18 year olds can sign up at redcrossblood.org OR on the Red Cross Blood Drive APP. (donors can track their units, earn rewards and learn their blood type with the app)

sponsor code: granada

16 year olds really must submit a permission slip to Mrs. Miller in S-2 for an appointment. The Red Cross system will not let them have an appointment online.

Athletes and Coaches can find information at:

There is also a host of more info at:

If you are new and may not be aware GHS is very serious about our blood drives.  We hold a few records in the Bay Area and we have received multiple monetary awards in the last few years for our superior efforts in blood donations for the American Red Cross! Our goal is to collect 300 units per year!
