Football Team Donates Blood

The Bridgewater football team held its annual blood drive last Tuesday, Oct. 3, in Nininger Hall.

Virginia Blood Services was able to get 81 units (pints) of blood from over 90 football players, as well as a handful of women's basketball players and trainers.

BlooderCenters.org reports that just one pint of donated blood can help save as many as three people’s lives. So because of the blood drive, as many as 243 lives could be saved.
