Great Hollow Blood Drive Delivers Great Results

Event results in the collection of 61 pints to help replenish valuable blood supply.

Just before the mid-winter recess, Great Hollow Middle School conducted a blood drive, coordinated by the school’s PTA, to benefit the New York Blood Center. With student and parent volunteers spreading the word through posters, pamphlets, social media and word of mouth, the event resulted in the collection of 61 pints to help replenish valuable blood supply.
