 On
behalf of the Blood Bank of Alaska, I would like to take this opportunity
to express my appreciation to the students and faculty of all the
Alaskan high schools that participated in the 2006/07 Alaska High
School Challenge. The blood drives were highly successful seeing
2,392 blood donors! I thank all the donors at high schools across
the state for taking the time to donate blood and give the Gift
of Life to their fellow Alaskans.
Through the generosity of organizations and businesses
across the state, the Blood Bank of Alaska Mobile Teams held blood
drives at each of the competing high schools. Congratulations once
again to Houston High School for being the winner with the highest
number of total donations! Houston High School
had 258 students, faculty and parents who presented to donate making
them not only the first place winner in their Class I category,
but most presenting donors overall. Palmer High School
was first place in the Class II category with 166 donors and South
High School was first place winner in the Class III category
with 194 donors. My congratulations again to all the winners!
The Blood Bank of Alaska is grateful for the outstanding
support we receive from students, parents, faculty and administration.
It is very rewarding for our Mobile Teams and our Community Coordinators.
You can all take console in the thought that every time a life is
saved, your kindness and dedication to your community was a part
of it.
With all of the excitement from last year's blood
drives, we look forward to this year's 2007/08 Alaska High School
Challenge! Best of luck to all the competing schools!
Thank you,
Jack L. Williams, CEO
