Each participant will receive a certificate, and prizes will be awarded to the top male and female in each category.
Central Blood Bank will conduct a blood drive and bone marrow screening from 1 to 4 p.m. in the convocation center’s north conference wing. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are recommended via the blood bank’s mobile app or by calling 724-938-4794.
Rite-Aid pharmacy staff will administer flu shots for a fee. Insurance cards will be accepted.
Participants can take part in a variety of screenings, including blood pressure and blood glucose tests, spinal analysis and pulse oximetry tests. Stop The Bleed kits will be available as part of a nationwide campaign that raises awareness about bleeding emergencies.
