Fall into donating blood, your donation makes a difference!

Behind every unit of blood is a real person:
a child in surgery,
a mother giving birth,
a cancer patient fighting for more time.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor survivors, remember loved ones, and stand with those still fighting. Did you know that many breast cancer patients rely on blood transfusions during their treatment? Chemotherapy and other therapies can lower blood counts, making donated blood a vital part of their care.

Your blood donation can give strength, healing, and hope to someone battling Breast Cancer and many other cancers. By donating blood you’ll join a community of donors helping ensure these patients have the blood they need, when they need it most.

Our Eagles wore gray to school on Thursday to honor fallen KSP Trooper Hayden Phillips. We will always remember and honor his service and the ultimate sacrifice made by Trooper Phillips and his family. We are beyond grateful for the men and women that serve and protect our amazing county, state, and nation.
