Grand Rapids high schools West Catholic and Catholic Central are hosting a blood drive with Michigan Blood Bank on Tuesday, August 30.  The blood drive will also serve as a fund raiser.  For each person who donates or tries to donate blood, Michigan Blood Bank will donate $10 to help provide clean water in Haiti.
