OP’s Annual Blood Drive

In case you didn’t notice, this past Tuesday, the Oratory Prep Student Council held the annual blood drive in cooperation with the Red Cross. Without a doubt, it was a success, with a total of 48 donations by parents, students and even a few members of the Summit Police Department. Despite a few people passing out, the donations went well with champs like Mr. Van Hoven and Mr. McGowan going right back to teaching and being in charge, respectively. A special shoutout goes to Nick Yannuzzi, the winner of the prom ticket raffle. In appreciation for his donation, Nick Yannuzzi won $100 off his prom ticket, a prize an Oratory student would have wanted to win. It’s estimated that, as a school, we saved about 150 lives today. A nod to Peter Ainsworth, Alex Felitto and Will Heffernan for facilitating the event and making the blood drive run as smoothly as ever.
