Scholarship applications can be downloaded from www.hoxworth.org/highschool and are available through your high school guidance counselor. Applicants for the Hoxworth High School Scholarship are rated in the categories of academics, community service and school related activities. An essay of 250 to 300 words on the topic, “Innovative Ways To Turn High School Students Into Loyal Blood Donors,” is required for scholarship consideration. This scholarship is for you if you are active in your school and community, have at least a 2.5 GPA and are a graduating senior. Being a blood donor is not a requirement for potential candidates. The Malcolm P. Adcock Memorial Scholarship is available to a graduating minority senior enrolling full-time next fall as an undergraduate to study in the designated fields of Health Professions, Public Health, Health Research, Nursing or another related field. visit www.hoxworth.org/highschool for more information Maximize your donation You may be asked to make an AUTOMATED RED CELL DONATION because your blood type is in high demand in our community at the time of your donation. During an automated red cell donation, blood is drawn from one arm and channeled through a sterile, single-use tubing kit to an automated machine. The automated system separates the red blood cells from the whole blood, and then returns the remaining blood components back to you through the same arm. The end result is that two units of red blood cells are collected. While two units of red cells are collected during the automated process, the total volume of the donation is slightly less than that of a single whole blood donation. This is because the remaining components and saline are returned to you. An automated red cell donation takes approximately 35 – 45 minutes. The entire visit will likely take 90 minutes. Donor eligibility for this type of donation will be determined differently and will vary by gender. See the chart below for eligibility requirements.

Students who participate in organizing blood drives learn valuable skills in leadership, community service, communication, project management, planning, setting and reaching goals, and teamwork. Joel Brown – Mason High School Joel was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2008. During his treatment, he received multiple units of platelets and red cells. Nikkia King – Sycamore High School Graduate In high school, Nikkia started regular transfusions as part of her therapy to prevent pain and complications of Sickle Cell Anemia. She receives 12 units per year…more than 200 to date! Questions? Raise your arm. Who can donate blood? In order to donate blood, you must be 17 years old (16-year-old donors can donate with a signed parental consent), weigh at least 110 lbs., and be in good health. See the Eligibility Requirements chart (far right panel). For information regarding other states for Tattoo/Body Piercing, or more information regarding Parental Consent, Medications, Travel, Heart Disease and Cancer, call Hoxworth Blood Center Donor Services at (513) 558–1304; toll-free at (800) 265–1515, ext. 8-1304. Is donating blood safe? Donating blood is very safe. Hoxworth uses equipment and needles that are prepackaged, sterilized, used only once, and then destroyed. Should I tell my parents I am donating blood? YES! It is a big decision to donate blood that should be shared with your parents. If you are 16 years old, you will need to have a parental consent signed in blue or black ink prior to your donation. Seventeen-year-old donors in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana are not required to have parental consent. Encourage your parents to become blood donors as well. How long does it take to donate? The blood donation process itself will take about 10 minutes. Slightly less than a pint of blood is taken. Blood volume of most adults ranges from 10 to 12 pints. The entire process should take about an hour. How will I feel after my donation? Most people feel great after completing the donation process! Occasionally, some donors may experience some light-headedness, which is why we provide refreshments for donors. In rare instances, some donors may experience more pronounced post donation symptoms that require additional follow up and care with blood drive donation staff. If you experience any changes after the blood drive, call Hoxworth at (513) 558-1304. How soon after my donation can I exercise or practice sports? We encourage you to wait until the next day before resuming strenuous activities, such as heavy lifting, running, or contact sports. How often can I donate? You will be eligible to donate again in eight weeks if whole blood was collected, 16 weeks if you decided to participate in an automated red cell donation. Can I donate if I recently got a tattoo or piercing? Where does my blood go? If your tattoo or piercing was administered by a licensed parlor in Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana you CAN donate blood without a waiting period (provided the tattoo is healed). For a complete listing of acceptable states, please visit www.hoxworth.org. Hoxworth laboratory technicians will manufacture your whole blood unit into three basic components: red blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Your blood will also go through multiple tests to provide the safest possible blood for transfusion to patients in our community. Remember, your donation will save up to three lives! Know what to do nts e m e r i u q e R Eligibility Be Prepared! Make sure you drink plenty of extra fluids and eat a hearty meal within four hours prior to your donation. Get Out of Class! You will receive a blood drive appointment card prior to your donation. This will serve as your hall pass and permission to leave your classroom, so hang on to it. You will be dismissed at your designated appointment time. Ages 16-18 Eligibility Requirements for Whole Blood Donation Height 4’10” 4’11” 5’0” Don’t Forget! You will need to bring a photo ID with you to the blood drive. It will need to include your photo and date of birth. This could be a driver’s license or state ID card. Let’s Begin! You will complete the donor form and participate in a mini physical, during which a Hoxworth staff member will check your blood pressure, pulse, and temperature. A drop of blood will be taken from your finger to measure your hematocrit (the percentage of red cells that make up your whole blood). Roll Up Your Sleeve! Now you will give a pint of blood. This part of the process takes about ten minutes. Replenish! Relax – you’re finished. Enjoy plenty of juice and cookies – you just saved up to three lives.
