Blood donations in New Jersey continue to be in short supply so we hope you will consider donating at our next blood drive on November 26, 2024.\u00a0 While 60% of the population is eligible to give blood, only 5% of those eligible actually do. Yet, every three seconds, someone needs a blood transfusion.<\/p>\n
Each year, our teachers, students, parents\/guardians, and community members have come forward to help others through blood donations. Their generosity was acknowledged again last year as North Hunterdon High School was among the list of leading corporate and educational blood donor groups by New Jersey Blood Services. In fact, North Hunterdon was listed as #1 among high schools in New Jersey. We hope our community\u2019s generosity will continue.<\/p>\n
The blood drive will be held in North Hunterdon High School\u2019s Main Gym on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome.\u00a0 If you would like to reserve a time slot for your donation, please click HERE<\/a><\/span> for the sign-up link.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n While students who are seventeen and eighteen years old may donate legally without parental permission, we ask that they speak with their parents\/guardians before donating and that they obtain written permission (see below). We also extend a special invitation to our students who will be sixteen years old by November 26th.\u00a0 With parental permission, sixteen-year-olds can donate in the state of New Jersey. In addition to filling out the permission slip below, they must also fill out the New Jersey Blood Services Parental Consent Form attached HERE<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Reminders and new guidelines for donating:<\/p>\n We look forward to your help. Save someone\u2019s life on November 26!<\/p>\n\n
