Kerr Hosts Annual NHS Blood Drive

Written by Lana Renderos, Journalism 1
September 23, 2025

The National Health Service (NHS) Blood Drive for 2025 will be sponsored by the National Honor Society on September 26  in Room 321 from 7 A.M. to 2 P.M. Blood drives, such as this one, give a chance to those who are 16 and older to donate blood and make a memorable impact for the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center.

Donors must be 120 lbs,  have parental permission before donating blood, and be kept in the gym for 15 minutes to recover. Seniors can also receive a blood cord in this blood drive.

“It’s a big deal and a good experience,” NHS sponsor Toni Maness said. “There’s always a need for blood.”

"It was pretty surreal because I wasn't sure what to expect or whether I should smile. I had originally planned not to smile since I usually look awkward, but after finishing the photos, I ended up liking the ones where I smiled the most," Ramos said.
