We\u2019ll be going into our seventh year of doing this,\u201d Belcher said.<br \/>\nBelcher also said that the Community Blood Center, with whom they run the blood drives, has been around for 40 years.<!--more--><br \/>\nBelcher didn\u2019t have an exact number on how many students participate in PTK\u2019s blood drives, but he did mention an award given to them by the Community Blood Center.<br \/>\n\u201cThe awards we\u2019ve won the last few years in a row are called Leading the Way, Gold Partner Awards, and those have to do with how many students\/donors that we have, and also how full we are to capacity at these events,\u201d said Belcher.<br \/>\nThis award is something that isn\u2019t easy to achieve, it takes hard work and time to earn.<br \/>\n\u201cNot everybody is able to win this award, so we\u2019re pretty proud of that,\u201d said Belcher.<br \/>\nAny student who wants to participate in the event can contact them online.<br \/>\n\u201cStudents can sign up at www.donortime.com, and they just have to be sure that they enter the sponsor code, which is 177,\u201d said Belcher.<br \/>\nStudents just need to talk to an interviewer to see if said student is eligible for donating blood.<br \/>\n\u201cThey can sign up, they have a little interview process to see if they are okay to donate blood, if they are they get to donate blood,\u201d said Belcher.<br \/>\nIt shouldn\u2019t take too long for you to donate your blood, plus you will be helping those in your community.<br \/>\n\u201cWith just a few minutes of your time you can have a really big impact on your community,\u201d said Belcher.<br \/>\nThe reason the PTK holds events like these is because they want to help the community, one step at a time.<br \/>\n\u201cOne of PTK\u2019s missions is to do stuff for the community, and this is one of our community activities that we do. As part of our service projects,\u201d said Belcher.<br \/>\nEven a small amount of blood can help save many lives.<br \/>\n\u201cA pint of blood can save three lives,\u201d Belcher said.<\/p>\n<p>Zoe Hurley<br \/>\n<em>Reporter<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phi Theta Kappa is holding a blood drive here at Sinclair on Wednesday, March 18.
