The event will last during regular school hours and is hosted by the National Honor Society at PHS. This event will also help raise awareness for the need for younger donors. Well as part of the National Honor Society one of the things that we stress greatly is service to our community and what better way than to donate blood. It's 100% renewable resource and it can save so many lives. So one of the things that we have always done ever since I've been a sponsor and as I've done research for many decades in the past the National Honor Society has teamed with local blood center to sponsor blood drives here at Pikeville. On average we will have about 20 people that will donate blood each time that the blood center comes to us. Sometimes we have a lot more, sometimes we you know last few years we've had less but that's understandable. Pikeville students and faculty are more than happy to help fill the need for blood. Asbury says parents are more than welcome to donate as well. Our students really do try. They know that one blood donation can save six babies lives and so they like to really be a part of that and I expect we have about 25 or so students that are signed up for this blood drive not counting the staff who will probably give as well. We've been working with them since at least the 80s on doing blood drives so this is a this is a tradition in a way. Reporting from Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colum.
