352 pints of blood were obtained from students and others last Monday through Wednesday. “We beat last time by about 50 units,” Torrez said enthusiastically.
Cerritos Clubs did a phenomenal job bringing people into the donation area. Torrez called the student support phenomenal and wanted to emphasize how much impact club involvement had on the high turnout.
Clubs have been involved in recruiting donors for over five years. The Club that signs up the most people to at least go to the donation area and inquire about donating will receive a prize.
The winner receives the Crystal Drop Award during the Activities Awards Banquet and a pizza party for their club Torrez said.
The next blood drive at Cerritos will be this November 17 through the 19 but the Red Cross has other centers open all the time. For more information visit www.redcross.org/en/.
