Blood Drive 12/1/2023

Seton Catholic High School participated in the Dayton Donor Blood Drive. During this blood drive staff, students, and community members participate in donating. High schools and colleges make up 25% of total blood supply. Donating blood can save up to three lives. One in seven people entering a hospital needs blood. Seton Catholic offers multiple opportunities to donate blood during the school year. If a student donates blood three times or more during their high school career they will receive a red cord for graduation. "I enjoy donating blood because it is cool that it saves up to three lives," Jack Fraley says. Jack has donated blood a total of five times since he turned 16.

Seton Catholic will hold another blood drive on February 7th, 2024. When you get the chance to donate blood you should always take it. When donating there are some requirements you must follow. For example, if you are 16 you can donate with parental consent. Once you turn 17 you do not need parental consent but you need to have a valid form of identification. You need to be in good health and meet certain weight requirements and wait 56 days since you last donated. You can register for the next blood drive by going to https://www.donortime.com/donor/auth/signin_landing or e-mailing jmatthews@setoncatholics.org to reserve your time slot.
