The final day to sign up is next Monday. To donate, participants must be at least sixteen years of age. Those who are sixteen years old are required to have a legal guardian’s signature.

The collection will be held from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM in the wrestling room. Participants are required to wear comfortable clothes, stay hydrated and it was recommended to have food in their stomachs prior the donation.
