Last year HFHS ranked within the top ten for units of blood collected in the state of Minnesota, an impressive feat for a school our size. Then last Wednesday -October 17th- HFHS hosted this years first blood drive. The blood drive coordinators set some large goals hoping to keep our schools streak of high donation numbers going. Blood drive coordinator Abby Painovich explained that they exceeded their own high expectations, stating, “Our goal was to get 53 units and we ended up getting 64." So how did the the Coordinators beat their goal by so much during the first blood drive of the year? Christeva Perotti said, “We had 66 people signed up and a bunch of them got deferred but we filled their slots.” She went on to say, “I feel like this drive was really good because we got a lot of people who have never donated before to come out. Some of the people who have been too scared or not old enough to donate ended up doing it and that helped a ton. A lot of them even told us afterwards that it wasn’t that bad.” This blood drive was large success in many ways and the end result was not only our school getting a great donor turnout but when the blood drive finished on Wednesday we had donated enough blood to potentially save 192 lives.
