Souhegan High School Hosts Another Successful Blood Drive

The Souhegan High School National Honor Society recently held its annual Blood Drive in cooperation with the American Red Cross.

NHS members worked hard to raise awareness about the need for donated blood. In addition, NHS students organized the event and worked onsite throughout the day to set up, register donors,offer support to new and experienced donors alike, serve snacks and pack up.

Eighty-eight donors generated 75 usable units of blood, maintaining Souhegan’s reputation as a stand-out school in the region for donating a reliably high volume of blood each year.

Thirty-two donors were first-timers, and 23 were sixteen year olds.

Research shows that those who start donating blood at a young age are more likely to become lifelong donors.
