Butte Central High School Blood Drive

Every year, Butte Central High School proudly hosts a Blood Drive in both the fall and spring. This fall’s drive took place on October 20, 2026, in the campus gym. Students Danny McCarthy, Jack Nylund, Alex Morey, Jackson Mulcahy, and Marquis Abad assisted by signing in donors, distributing water and snacks, and supporting participants throughout the event.

Students who donate or volunteer are eligible to receive graduation cords and a certificate recognizing their service. Donation options include whole blood donation, which provides one pint containing red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, and Power Red donation, which collects two units of red blood cells while returning plasma and platelets to the donor—a vital option for O, A-, and B- donors.

Blood donations play a critical role in saving lives both locally and beyond. This fall, we collected 14 donations, primarily from staff and students. Looking ahead, our goal is to increase participation by encouraging more parents and community members to get involved.
