Carter Schum, a student at Spencerport High School, made his first blood donation on March 1 during a blood drive at Ferris Goodridge Legion Post in Spencerport. He is pictured here with his teacher, Christina Falbo, who is a regular blood donor. Ferris Goodridge Legion Post will be hosting another blood drive on Wednesday, June 28, from 1 to 6 p.m. Organizers are hoping the youth in the community will follow Carter’s lead and donate blood. During the summertime a lot of activities take place with graduation parties, family gatherings, weddings, etc. The need for blood is always urgent, but sometimes more so during the summer.
