On Nov. 10, 152 Addison Trail students, staff and community members participated in a blood drive at the school to donate blood for LifeSource.

The event collected 124 units of blood. According to LifeSource, each unit of blood collected supports three lives, which means this event could help save 372 lives.

Thanks in part to the blood drives hosted at Addison Trail, the Addison community has been ranked as No. 13 on LifeSource’s Top Donors list for 2015-16.

Blood donations are accepted at any of the LifeSource donation centers, and an appointment can be made by calling 877-543-3768 or registering online at www.lifesource.org. Use code G417 when donating.
