Share via

While publicity over blood drives has subsided since the aftermath of

the Sept. 11 attacks, students at a school in Costa Mesa are renewing the

effort to replenish the area’s blood supplies.

On Friday, eighth-grade students form Mariners Christian School will

host a blood drive for the American Red Cross to fulfill a specific need

in the community.

To make the blood drive successful, students have been distributing

flyers, displaying posters and banners, calling friends and family

members and walking the school hallways to recruit blood donors.

The goal is for each of the 75 students to register two to four

individuals for blood donation appointments.

During the blood drive, students will assist with setup and cleanup,

serve homemade cookies and fruit juice and personally thank donors for

giving blood to save lives.

For more information on the blood drive, please call (714) 437-1700.
