CENTRAL - Central Middle School students are calling on the community to come together for a blood drive on Monday to support a classmate who was seriously injured in an ATV crash.
Family said Blaze Taylor was in an accident on Feb. 14 and was hospitalized with a punctured lung and multiple fractures after being pinned underneath a side-by-side.
Taylor's classmates made a social media video that was posted Thursday, encouraging the community to give blood at the Central Community Schools' annual blood drive on Monday. Each donation will put a $30 credit to his medical expenses.
