Central Texas students who donate blood three or more times during their high school career earn a Blood Donation Cord to wear during graduation events.
Donating blood is an opportunity for teens to make a life-saving difference in their community. We Are Blood’s High School Cord Program recognizes Central Texas students at participating high schools for their desire and commitment to providing life-saving donations and bolstering the community’s blood supply.
