Cord of Courage Grant Program
Cord of Courage is a program designed to recognize these students’ lifesaving efforts. Students at participating schools who complete a required number of donations before they graduate receive a special cord to wear at their graduation ceremony and may be able to receive a special edition cord if they go above and beyond.
The Cord of Courage program recognizes high school seniors who have made the selfless decision to give someone the gift of life through the selfless act of blood donation or recruiting blood donors.
High schools hosting Blood Assurance blood drives during the school year are eligible to participate in this program.
When high school students (students who are at least 16 years of age require one-time parental consent) give blood during the school year, they earn points. Different types of donations earn different points. When six points have been earned, the student is given an honor cord to wear at graduation and keep forever. For students who go above and beyond, a double cord can be earned, too. School administration must approve the cord before it can be presented.
