- **Event Name**: Blood Drive: In Memory of Alexander Rodecap
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 09:30 am – Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 02:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Alexander Rodecap was a scholar and athlete who died too young at age 16. The DeKalb High School student was a member of the cross-country team and enjoyed baseball, basketball, soccer, and skateboarding. He was a great friend and always one to help others, often putting them before himself. As many have said, his most memorable traits were his willingness to help others and his great smile. He was also a regular blood donor, and the entire community is urged to donate blood in Alexander’s honor.

The community is invited to give blood in honor of Alexander at a special American Red Cross blood drive Saturday, March 7th, from 9:30 am - 2:30 pm in the Assembly Room at Eckhart Public Library.

Whether individuals are long-time donors or have never given before, the Rodecap family invites everyone to attend this blood drive. “From first time donors to repeat donors, we want people to see there is nothing to be afraid of, and that by giving blood you can be such a help to others.”

The sponsor code for this drive is "alexander." There are three ways to register:
1. Download the Blood Donor App and schedule on the app
2. Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) and let them know you would like to register for this specific drive
3. Visit redcrossblood.org to sign up online


URGENT! The American Red Cross is facing a severe blood shortage as requests from hospitals exceed the available supply of blood, drawing down the blood supply by about 35% over the last month. Without immediate action, patients who rely on transfusions — including trauma victims, mothers in childbirth, and people with sickle cell disease or cancer — face serious risk.
