Blood Drive To Honor Westborough High School Senior

WESTBOROUGH, MA—It's important to give blood, and this is an opportunity to give blood in the name of a special community member.

The American Red Cross is sponsoring a blood drive in honor of Westborough High School Senior Corinne Sciarappa on Saturday, Sept. 29, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Congregational Church of Westborough.

Sciarappa continues her courageous fight against rhabdomyosarcoma as she begins her senior year at Westborough High School, according to the announcement. Throughout her treatment, she's gotten more than 150 units of blood and platelets.

"As we all return to our fall schedules with work and school," said friend and co-organizer Ilyse Levine-Kanji,"it is important to remember that cancer patients such as Corinne rely on the generosity of blood donors such as you throughout the year. We have the potential to cross the 1,000 units of blood donation threshold in Corinne’s honor this September and are asking for your support.

Scheduling an appointment is highly recommended. You can sign up by calling 1-800-REDCROSS or visiting redcrossblood.org, sponsor code Corinne.
