At the end of September, Kent State University Stark Campus collected enough blood to raise six $500 scholarships through LifeShare during a two-day blood drive. For every 35 donors, the college received $500 toward scholarships.

LifeShare Community Blood Services is a community-focused nonprofit organization committed to providing a safe and adequate blood and component supply for patients in Northeast Ohio.

Thanks to students, faculty, staff and community members, 233 units of blood were collected.
