About half of the number of 18 to 24-year-old donors give blood during the summer months compared to the rest of the year. The American Red Cross is looking for student leaders who want to change that statistic and help support the blood supply. Student coordinators could win a college scholarship, a gift card, and earn valuable leadership experience.

Here’s how you can help! Check out the Leaders Save Lives program and sign up to host a summer blood drive.

A great student leader must:Be between 16 to 24-years-old.

• Host a Red Cross blood drive between June 1 – August 31, 2015.
• Collect at least 25 pints of blood and achieve 100 percent of the blood drive goal.

This program also offers an opportunity for high school students to achieve volunteer hours and meet the summer blood donation requirement for the High School Leadership Program. For more information, visit our website today or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
