Remington College in Lafayette will hold their 3 Lives Blood Drive today to raise awareness for sickle cell disease.
This event emphasizes the need for minority blood donors and raises awareness of blood disorders.
It take place from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in partnership with United Blood Services.
Minority donors, particularly African-American donors, are in high demand because they provide blood with unique antigens that are vital for patients with sickle cell.
All blood donated will go to area hospitals.
