More than 100 people donated blood during the drive sponsored by the Hamilton High School National Honor Society on Nov. 2. 

The donors gave enough blood to save the lives of 288 people in local hospitals. 

The group’s efforts resulted in twice the amount of blood it had expected to donate to the Blood Center of Wisconsin, according to the district. 

“It was quite a success, thanks to the thoughtful people of this community,” said Hamilton teacher and NHS advisor Misti Swanson.
