From South Texas Blood & Tissue: Congratulations to YISD students and families for another Record Breaking -amazing life-saving event! October 5th was a HUGE day! There were 26 sign-ups, and 44+ heroes showed up!
In total, 41 life-saving units of blood were collected on a goal of 18 for 228%!!! That’s enough blood to potentially help nearly 125 patients!!!
This was the #1 largest blood collection in all of South Texas as of 11-21-2024 !!!! (over 43 counties) Looking back, YISD had a HUGE blood drive in February that brought in 39 units. These two blood drives have been the largest blood drives on record for the Yorktown Community and surrounding towns.
