– There are limited spots available for each time, so if you intend to sign up, please do so sooner rather than later.
– If you are 16 years old, you MUST have a parental consent form filled out to bring at the time of donation.
***If you do sign up, please do not sign up during a test or a quiz, and coordinate with teachers to make sure you are signing up for a time at which you do not miss any educational or instructional material.

ON BLOOD DONATION DAY:
- Drink PLENTY of water
- Eat an iron-enriched dinner before
- EAT BREAKFAST
- Not something light, but a hearty breakfast
- NO ENERGY DRINKS BEFORE
- This is VERY important to avoid
We work with the South Bend Medical Foundation (SBMF), so they will set up near Door C, and you can expect donating to take around 45 minutes. Do not be late since they work on a tight schedule. We hope to see you all donating!!!
For students who have more questions, feel free to contact hsmoker478@phm.k12.in.us
Here is an informational video.
