The Student Impact Award honors students who give blood, volunteer, and/or host a blood drive. Area High School students will receive the ImpactLife Student Impact Award. It is given annually to those who have shown exemplary support of our region’s blood supply.
The Student Impact Award Program recognizes the many ways students can support the blood supply, as donors, advocates, volunteers, and blood drive coordinators. Recipients of the award have completed one of the following activities while in high school: donated blood at least six times; recruited at least six new blood donors; have hosted a local blood drive.
“Working towards the Student Impact Award is a great way for students to prove their leadership skills, earn volunteer hours, and help our community,” said Teresa Gottschalk, Manager, Regional Development. “Our Student Impact Award recipients have demonstrated commitment and dedication to helping others. These characteristics will benefit our community long into the future.”
Student Impact Award recipients received an award certificate and a red cord that signifies the connection between the blood donor, ImpactLife, and patients who have been helped by each student’s support of our region’s blood supply. With permission from their school, students may choose to wear the red cord in their High School Graduation ceremony.
