Thank you, thank you, thank you! Our community donated 28 units of whole blood and four double reds at the blood drive on Thursday. Those donations will help almost 100 people! We had three first time donors, one donor receive her 1 gallon pin, and one donor receive her 2 gallon pin. Wow! Our next blood drive is October 21… consider joining us in helping save lives!

Several walk in spots available at today blood drive! Come help save lives from 1:30-7:00pm at the PRHS media Center!

Dear Community,   We recently lost a beloved member of our area—a devoted first responder, a Paramedic, a selfless caregiver, and a fierce advocate for those in need. Her life was dedicated to serving others, and her legacy lives on through the many lives she touched. In her honor, we invite you to roll up your sleeve and give the gift of life. A community blood drive has been organized to pay tribute to her unwavering service and the compassion she showed throughout her career. Your blood donation can help patients battling critical illness, including a young child in our community recently going through unknown health issues, awaiting a diagnosis. For young patients like him, donated blood isn’t just a gesture—it’s a lifeline.   🩸 Give in honor of those who give everything. Your one donation can make a difference for up to three people. It’s a simple act of kindness that reflects the spirit of service and love that our local heroes embody every day.   📍 Pine River Area High School – 17445 Pine River School Rd, LeRoy, MI 49655 (https://donateblood.versiti.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/11612786)
🗓 Wednesday, July 30, 2025
🕜 1:30 PM – 7:00 PM   Thank you for joining us in honoring a life of service—and for being a part of something truly life-saving.   With Gratitude,
Pine River High School NHS
