 Decatur High School sponsors four blood drives for Cascade Regional Blood Services each school year and is always one of the first. This is especially appreciated since the summer months are very challenging and school drives help us collect the units needed to keep our inventories at a safe level for our community.
On Thursday, September 22, DHS kicked off its first blood drive of the school year. The GATORS registered 48 blood donors, with 34 new first time donors for CRBS and our community! Special thanks to Robin Chapman, DHS Key Club faculty advisor and blood drive coordinator! Robin has been committed to the success of blood drives at DHS for several years and does a great job with the students and the program. CRBS appreciates the ongoing support of Decatur’s administration, staff and the many students who take time to generously donate during their blood drives. Their donations directly support St. Francis and our other area hospitals.
We are looking forward to our next Decatur blood drive on November 17, which will be sponsored by FCCLA. Blood donors really do save lives.

2010–11 School Year
On September 21, Decatur High School, home of the Gators, four blood drives each year. Their blood drives are sponsored by the Key Club under the guidance of Robin Chapman. We would also like to thank Albert Kim, Key Club President, and all the Key Club members for their many hours of hard work and support.
Decatur is one of a few schools that support four blood drives annually. CRBS thanks the staff and students of DHS, especially Key Club and FCCLA. CRBS is grateful to the students and staff of Decatur High School for their support.
Our community relies heavily on the contributions of schools to help provide an adequate supply throughout the year for St. Francis and our other area hospitals.
