O’Neill High School’s Red Cross Club hosted a blood drive on January 7, with students, staff and faculty and residents of the community taking time to donate. That resulted in the student-run event surpassing its goal and collecting 26 units of blood. Surpassing the goal they set will allow for one senior student in the Club to receive a scholarship from the American Red Cross. There were quite a few first-time donors, Club Advisors Allie Gonzalez and John Marcinak proudly said, and they thanked the students who volunteered to work at the event.

If you’re looking to donate blood, visit RedCrossBlood.org or the New York Blood Center at www.nybc.org.
