Give Blood, Get Lucky!

South Side High School is hosting a community blood drive on Wednesday, March 18, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Donors should look for the Bloodmobile on campus to participate in this life-saving event. To show our appreciation, all donors will receive a "Donor Champions" T-shirt and a "Lotto Pot O' Gold" scratcher for a chance to win various lucky prizes. Gift cards valued at $50 and $100 are also up for grabs as part of the "Scratch Your Way to Prizes" promotion. Please remember to bring a photo ID and scan the QR code on the event flyer to schedule your appointment in advance.
