Blood Drive!
October 18th
Cardinal Ritter, with the support of Versiti Blood Center of Indiana, is having a blood drive on Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022. Students who are 17 years old or older can sign up to donate blood. Students who are 16 years old, may still donate, but will need to have their parent sign a consent form. Parents, teachers, and staff are also invited to participate. Please consider donating; local hospitals depend on the generosity of donors to provide this life-saving treatment to people in need.
Parental consent forms are available in the school clinic. Please note, all donors must present a photo ID and meet the weight requirements by height. Student athletes should check with their coach about competitions and practice days before signing up. You may safely donate whole blood every 56 days. You may sign up by following the link, or in person during lunch the week preceding the blood drive. Students who participate will be able to count this towards their service hours. If you have additional questions, please contact Laura Valle, our school nurse at lvalle@cardinalritter.org.
