MARSHALL UNIVERSITY STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION SEPTEMBER BLOOD DRIVE A SUCCESS
Thanks to the efforts of both Marshall students, faculty and community members, a total of 123 units of blood were collected for the American Red Cross at the Marshall University Student Government Association and Marshall University Student Ambassadors blood drive earlier this month.
The blood drive was conducted from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on September 6th and 7th. Wednesday’s drive brought in 56 units and another 67 units were collected on Thursday,
Denise Black, donor marketing specialist for the American Red Cross said she was more than pleased and had hoped to bring in 60 units of blood per day. With the units collected, the American Red Cross was able to save 369 lives, Black said.
Ben Sandy, Student Body President, said he is pleased with the results and was amazed at the number of students who turned out for the event.
“This event would not have been a success without the efforts of student government’s Campus Development Director David Kluemper, Communication Director Megan Barbour and the Senators who took time out of their busy schedules to help with the blood drive,” Sandy said.
