The DLS HOSA Club is sponsoring a spring blood drive, in cooperation with the Red Cross, on Tuesday, April 8, from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. 

HOSA is a club for students interested in pursuing careers in the health professions.

Students, faculty and staff, parents, alumni, and other friends of De La Salle are invited to sign up for a time slot at this link. Senior Brendan Harper is coordinating the effort, along with junior Bill Gintner. Brendan is the HOSA Club President, and Bill is the Vice-President.

Anyone who successfully donates will receive a $15 gift card to Amazon via email as a thank you from the Red Cross.

DLS is also participating in the Red Cross Scholarship program, so the more blood we collect, the more money there will be for a HOSA senior to win.

In October 2024, there were 40 pints of blood successfully donated. Read more

Senior Glen Vasili is also volunteering during the drive, and said, "We are basically a gold mine for blood donations, and we could really make an impact." 

Glen added, "The blood supply is at its lowest in over 100 years! If anybody were to donate, it would be right now, as blood is essential."

Earlier this school year, students participated in the HOSA fall competition, with seven students qualifying for the HOSA State Finals in Traverse City, MI, Apri l8 - 19. Read more

In addition to the Fall 2024 Blood Drive, HOSA students also collected items for hospitalized children in December 2024. Read more
