Blood drive set Sept. 6 at Putnam County High School

Putnam County High School Interact Club, Putnam County Rotary team up with Red Cross

Illinois Valley Community College will host a blood drive on Tuesday, April 30.

Putnam County High School Interact Club and Putnam County Rotary will team up to host a Red Cross Community Blood Drive from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6, at Putnam County High School, 402 E. Silverspoon Ave., Granville.

Participation offers a chance for repeat and first-time donors to help others in need, with their donation of blood. All blood types save lives. Sixteen-year olds may donate with a parent’s permission.

Donations help to determine the amount of Red Cross scholarship money annually granted to the school. Donors also will receive a raglin long-sleeve T-shirt while supplies last.

For appointments, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Donors may also sign up and pre-register on line using RapidPass at redcrossblood.org
