The Blood Bank of Alaska High School
Challenge is an exciting program aimed at recruiting young blood
donors at local high schools and the supporting community. Statistics
show that people who begin donating blood in high school are more
likely to continue giving blood throughout their lifetime. The goal
of the Blood Bank of Alaska - High School Challenge is to spark
the interest of young donors with the hope of maintaining that commitment
for years to come.
Throughout the school year, blood drive results will be posted and
updated on the Blood Bank of Alaska website. Students can track
their school’s standing for Most Presenting Blood Donors in
their class category.
• Class I: 1-499 Total Population
• Class II: 500-999 Total Population
• Class III: 1000+ Total Population
• Each student who registers to donate blood at their high
school blood drive will receive a FREE Alaska High School Challenge
T-Shirt!
• Students will be able to monitor high school blood drive
activities online to see how their achievements measure up to rival
high schools!
• As part of the Alaska High School Challenge, high school
students can recruit community members to donate blood at any Blood
Bank of Alaska center or mobile blood drive. This is a great way
for athletes, alumni, family and friends to award extra credit points
to their high school in support of the high school challenge!
• The Top 3 ranked Alaska High School Challenge winners in
each category will be announced on the Blood Bank of Alaska website,
in local newspapers, and as a Public Service Announcement on radio
and television!
The need for blood is real. The Alaska High School Challenge is
an exciting program that increases awareness in the community about
the importance of donating blood, helps put an end to blood shortages,
and allows high schools to compete with one another for recognition
of saving the most lives in Alaska!
