Blood DRIVE This year Key Club and BSU are teaming up to help out the blood drive! Are you skeptical about donating blood? Scared because it’s your first time? Here are some facts to keep in mind when deciding to donate:

 The actual donation takes about 5-15 minutes; the rest of the time is for hydrating yourself (plus, free snacks!)  900 people DAILY require blood in Western Washington alone  Every pint donated can help save up to 3 lives!!

Additional requirements: o Must be 114lbs (male) or 125lbs (female) if under the age of 18 (minimum age to donate is 16) o Must EAT a hearty meal & DRINK plenty of fluids 24~48 hours prior to donating

Donate on October 30th in the gym. Ask officers of Key Club or BSU for the forms!

What is it?

Fundraising to save children in need; thousands of children under the age of five die every day because they lack proper nutrition, safe drinking water, affordable vaccines, and other basic necessities.

OUR CLUB’S FUNDRAISING GOAL IS $300!! The one who raises the most money will receive a $5 Starbucks gift card, a lanyard, and the satisfaction from helping save a child’s life!
