Welcome, Vitalant high school blood drive coordinators!

#BecauseofYou, the future of our nation’s blood supply is being built today. As our most loyal and frequent blood donors become older, young people are the future of our nation’s blood supply; the future of ensuring blood is available for every patient in need. Hosting blood drives at your school helps ensure that your students have ample opportunity to start the lifesaving habit of donating blood on a regular basis. In turn, we want to support your efforts, so we created this resource hub exclusively for high school blood drive coordinators and sponsors.

Bookmark this page and check back, because we’ll add fresh content you can download and print, share on social media or send electronically. And if you have suggestions for this page or stories and tips you’d like to share, please contact us at MakeAnImpact@vitalant.org.
