Blood drive set
Fox Chapel Area High School will host a community blood drive from 1 to 7 p.m. Oct. 7 at the Vitalant Harmar/Fox Chapel donor center at 2585 Freeport Road, Suite 207, in Harmar.
People age 16 and older are encouraged to donate.
Vitalant is offering scholarships to area high school students. To help students qualify for scholarship consideration, the district is hosting several blood drives throughout the 2020-21 school year. The scholarships will be awarded to the district, and then split among the students with the highest percent participation and largest number of registered donations for the year.
Anyone who donates blood at a local center can ask for the donation to count toward Fox Chapel Area High School’s total by mentioning code HS010025. Donors can ask that their blood donation be “credited” to a particular student.
For more information, visit vitalant.org or call call 412-209-7000. Walk-ins are welcome.
