2009 Hoxworth High School Awards Banquet

On Thursday, May 7, 2009, Hoxworth Blood Center hosted the annual High School Awards Luncheon at the Madison Event Center in Covington, Kentucky. This event recognized the outstanding support that high schools provided to Hoxworth throughout the 2008-2009 school year.

During this time frame, 115 high schools in Southwestern Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Southeastern Indiana conducted a total of 223 blood drives. Hoxworth is extremely grateful to the generous high school students who participated. Their 12,035 individual donations account for almost 14% of Hoxworth Blood Center’s annual collections.
