Coffeyville Community College holds a spring blood drive and exceeds its donation goal.
CCC and the American Red Cross held the drive on April 2nd on the college's main campus. The blood drive set a goal of collecting 24 units but surpassed expectations with a total of 28 units collected. With each unit having the potential to save up to three lives, the donations from this event could help save as many as 84 lives. The drive also saw strong participation, with 38 registered donors, including 11 first-time donors.
The drive also served as an educational opportunity for students from CCC’s Coffeyville Technical Campus RN Nursing Program, who assisted with donor registration, observed the blood collection process, and helped with event setup and cleanup.
The success of this year’s event reflects growing community engagement, with higher participation than previous CCC blood drives.
