BURNSVILLE, Minn.–Firefly Credit Union partnered with Burnsville High School’s DECA program and Memorial Blood Centers to host a high school blood drive.
Memorial Blood Centers works with area high schools to provide graduating seniors with financial scholarships to support their education after graduation. Scholarship funds are awarded to schools based on the total units of blood collected throughout the academic year – providing a great incentive to help save lives and support fellow students.
Burnsville High School students and faculty got together to collect an impressive total of 176 units of blood, equating to 436 potential lives saved.
“This blood drive was a great opportunity for Burnsville students to not only participate in the organization of this event, but also to support the community and fellow students,” said Firefly Credit Union President/CEO Bill Raker. “We are happy to help make these connections in our community and look forward to working closely with these students as our new Burnsville High School branch gets ready to open.”
Firefly Credit Union partnered with Memorial Blood Centers to host biannual blood drive at its corporate office.
