SSCC blood drive exceeds donation goal

By
-
More than 100 lives could be positively affected by the recent blood drive sponsored by Southern State Community College’s medical assisting students (MAST).
Hoxworth Blood Center visited the college’s Central Campus in Hillsboro on Nov. 3 and screened 44 potential volunteers, ultimately collecting enough blood to potentially save 105 lives. The drive exceeded the original donation goal of 30 units.
“We appreciate the amount of work that goes into every blood drive and I thank you for your efforts and generous support,” said Gary Woebkenberg, Hoxworth representative. “This was the best blood drive ever at your school!”
Southern State’s MAST organization, which coordinates the blood drive each year, has already scheduled a tentative date for next year’s event. Mark your calendar now for Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011.
“We appreciate your commitment to saving lives,” said Woebkenberg. “The donors who participated in your blood drive have helped ensure that there is an adequate blood supply for the patients in our community.”
