Dear Branson Community and Neighbors,
Branson and the American Red Cross are hosting an upcoming blood drive. Please join our lifesaving mission and schedule an appointment today! The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.
All students age 16 and older (16 with parental consent) AND all Branson parents/guardians, faculty/staff, and Ross community members are invited to participate!
