Terri Tyner Memorial Blood Drive

This is the first of five blood drives at WHS this year. Westside is hosting these in honor of the late Terri Tyner, who was a high school teacher and a blood program leader. Mrs. Tyner’s battle with cancer was the reason the school started hosting blood drives in the spring of 2022.
In addition to providing blood that will help save lives, donors can also help students earn scholarship money.
Donors will receive free snacks and Red Cross dry bags (while supplies last).
Please call 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter: WestsideHS to schedule an appointment
