Jonathan Law’s Keyettes Club partnered with the Red Cross to host a fall Blood Drive on October 26. 

The Keyettes Club teamed up with the Red Cross and anyone 16 or older could donate blood. There was a successful turnout and each donation of blood saved three lives. 

“It went really well; it was very successful,” Junior Co-President Lexi Velez said. “We reached the maximum number of people we could accept for the drive.” 

The Keyettes worked very hard to make this blood drive happen. The members were very excited to volunteer and the students and staff at Law were also eager to donate. 

“I chose to do the Blood Drive because it’s such a good thing to do for people,” Library Media Specialist Ms. Mundy said. “I know how important donating blood is to help people recover from life-threatening conditions. It feels good to know that I could save a life by giving up a little of my time.” 

Many students and staff members said they were glad they got to participate and to make a difference with their donation. 

“I would gladly do the blood drive again,” History teacher Mr. Evanko said. “I like how many people my donation can help.” 

Many Keyettes members volunteered at the Blood Drive throughout the day,

“My experience with the Red Cross workers and helpers was great,” junior Harshitha Kothapalli said, “They were so friendly and helpful, especially for my first time donating blood.”

The Keyettes are very hopeful that this Blood Drive will continue on in future years. They love working with the Red Cross and advocating for the need for donated blood. 

“Keyettes chose to do a Blood Drive because it was a way to bring awareness of how much donating blood could impact others,” said co-club president Nicole Naula. “Not only that but it enhances the idea that the Red Cross is always in need of blood.”
