These are Central Illinois Community Blood Center blood drives.
CICBC is the blood supplier to 19 Illinois hospitals,
including Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital, St. John's Hospital and
Memorial Medical Center.
Donate blood at any CICBC blood drive and credit your donation to
Lincoln Community High School or your favorite participating high
school in this year's Springfield Clinic High School Blood
Challenge. Just let the registration staff know. The winning school
will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship to be given to a graduating
senior who plans to further his or her education.
