In 2024-2025, the Nebraska HOSA State Officer Team chose to work with the Nebraska Community Blood Bank for the Nebraska HOSA Service Project. To promote blood donation, the State Officers hosted a blood drive at the State Leadership Conference.
The State Officers also promoted blood donation and the hosting of blood drives at the local chapter level. The team recognized the chapters with the most individual donors at blood drives hosted by that chapter through The Hemoglobin Hero Award.
Since June 2020, thousands of HOSA chapters across the country have added new potential donors to the NMDP Registry and pre-registry and raised critical dollars to ensure patients can focus on healing instead of medical bills. The state officer team will recognize the chapter that raises the most funds for NMDP through The Best Matchmaker Award. To learn more about the project and how to get involved, please visit the NMDP | HOSA Partnership Website.
