Highline Community College was honored for its support of blood donations on Sept. 18 at the Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club in Federal Way.
Puget Sound Blood Center’s Community Service Award recognizes the college and its efforts to plan and execute community blood drives four times a year. Each blood drive averages 200 donors.
“The faculty, staff and students of Highline Community College take pride in serving our community, and this recognition is just one example of the incredible work they do,” said Highline President Dr. Jack Bermingham. “We are honored to be the recipient of Community Service Award and look forward to a continued partnership that provides needed blood to our area hospitals.”
Highline has registered more than 2,900 donors since 1994 and the college’s donations have potentially benefited up to 8,865 patients in the region.
Highline ’s Student Nursing Club sponsors the blood drives on campus for community members and faculty, staff and students.
