Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School hosted the seventh annual Coach Tim Turner Memorial Blood Drive Wednesday, April 24 in the parking lot of our Middle/High School Campus. The LifeSouth Bloodmobile was on site and accepted donations from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm. This annual blood drive is hosted by Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School's high school student government association in honor of the late Coach Tim Turner who valiantly coached several MCPS Middle School sports teams while bravely battling a terminal illness.
Coach Turner's sister Gena Brasington was at MCPS for the blood drive and said "I am overwhelmed with joy to let you know that we had 75 units of blood donated!!! This beats our prior record of 73 units back in 2007 and 2009. Please send our family’s sincere appreciation to all the staff and students for their continued support of this very special cause, without them this would not be possible."
