Seniors: If you were planning on getting the scholarship with Suncoast Blood Bank this is your last chance to get your third donation done on campus.   

Here are some helpful tips before you donate: make sure to eat an hour before donating, drink lots of decaffeinated fluids, and bring a valid ID such as a learner’s permit or driver’s license. If you do not have either one of these forms of ID, the attendance office can provide you with a printout of your gradebook which can be used.   

Each donor will receive a free t-shirt, snacks, and a Chik-Fil-A sandwich. Suncoast blood bank also plants a tree for every blood donation. You will be able to track your tree and help the planet.
