Washington District 50 Schools

Beverly Manor is partnering with the American Red Cross to connect the Washington Community with their upcoming Feb. 16th blood drive at Five Points in Washington from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. Donating blood saves lives by providing vital needs for individuals in emergencies, surgeries, or receiving treatments for chronic illnesses.

Our students will learn about the importance of donating blood and receive a challenge to find one adult in their life that will sign up to donate. Be a part of something BIG and sign up for the Feb. 16th blood drive at Five Points.

Spread the word, seek out a donor, or even sign up with another friend or family member! All presenting donors will receive a $20 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice.

Sign up here: https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=WashingtonComm

If you cannot donate blood, but can donate some time, consider signing up for a volunteer slot as a Greeter or Canteen worker here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0A4BAEA922A4FF2-61335990-washington
