High School Blood Drives Are Vital to Utah’s Blood Supply

Students from the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) club at Copper Hills High School organized a successful blood drive on May 14, 2025.

High school-sponsored blood drives give Utah’s blood supply a vital boost for nine months out of the year. As schools across the state prepare to open their doors for the 2025–2026 academic year, ARUP Blood Services is ready to host blood drives and help patients across the state.

“High school blood drives are invaluable to maintaining the blood supply.”

Rob Fox Community Relations Representative, ARUP Blood Services

Last year, high schools from as far north as Smithfield and as far south as Payson sponsored 98 blood drives and collected 4,542 units of blood for patients at University of Utah Hospitals and the Huntsman Cancer Institute. ARUP Blood Services is the sole provider of blood products to the U of U Health system, and all the blood that ARUP Blood Services collects stays in Utah.

“High school blood drives are invaluable to maintaining the blood supply,” said Rob Fox, community relations representative for ARUP Blood Services. “These drives give us the potential to collect blood from hundreds of young, healthy, willing, and excited blood donors.” Ideally, Fox added, these high school students become lifelong donors.

Students in the Jordan and Davis School Districts are among the most likely to give blood. Last school year, the two districts collected a combined 2,406 units of blood. Jordan District high schools sponsored 21 blood drives and collected 1,322 units of blood, and Davis District high schools held 19 blood drives that brought in 1,084 units of blood.

The summer is the most difficult time for ARUP Blood Services due to a higher demand for blood and less frequent blood drives. The enthusiasm and willingness of students and educators to give back to their communities set the high school blood drives apart from all other collections. ARUP Blood Services is truly thankful for the donors who make these blood drives successful.

Whole Blood Titan Program

This program includes blood donors who have low-titer O-positive or O-negative blood types. Low-titer blood contains low levels of ABO antibodies, which is ideal for emergency transfusions.

Program Information

Your Blood Type Is Important

The ABO system classifies blood into four blood groups (A, B, AB, and O) based on the presence or absence of certain antibodies and antigens in red blood cells.
