The Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive is proud to partner with students at The Shipley School to encourage blood donors to save lives this winter! The Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive at The Shipley School will be held on Friday, March 1, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., in Shipley’s Yarnall Gymnasium. The blood drive will honor the memory of Carol Axelrod, the grandmother of a current Shipley student.

In recognition of The Shipley School’​s 125th birthday this year, the Shipley community is working to collect at least 125 units of lifesaving blood at this drive. Those blood products will then be used to save the lives of as many as 375 hospital patients! The blood drive is open to the public, and all presenting donors will receive a gift bag and a t-shirt. Appointments can be scheduled at www.chablooddrive.org or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS (mention sponsor code “Shipley”).
