Bod Brief: Red Cross offers scholarship

Washburn Review Staff

The American Red Cross is offering high school and college students the opportunity to win six scholarships up to $2,500 for hosting an American Red Cross blood drive anytime from Dec. 15, 2015 to Jan. 15, 2016. Only drives that collect at least 25 donations are eligible for scholarships, although all participants who collect at least 25 pints will receive a gift card to giftcertificates.com. The competition is a part of the Red Cross’s Leaders Save Lives program, whose goal is to encourage youth to collect blood during the winter months when donations are low. Registration for hosting a location is open from now until Nov. 15. Students can register at redcrossblood.org/leaderssavelives.
