Willowbrook Student Council hosts blood drive for LifeSource

On Nov. 4, more than 130 Willowbrook students and staff members participated in a blood drive at the school to donate blood for LifeSource.

The blood drive was hosted by Willowbrook's Student Council, and 119 units of blood were collected. According to LifeSource, each unit of blood collected supports three lives, which means this event could help save 357 lives.

Student Council plans to host a second event in April, and students, staff and community members are welcome to continue giving toward Willowbrook’s total at the Villa Park donor center at 100 E. Roosevelt Road. Donors should use code 530C to add to Willowbrook’s total.

For participating in blood drives, LifeSource presents Willowbrook and its sister school, Addison Trail, with a check that goes toward scholarships for District 88 students.
