Blood Drives Leads to Scholarship for Local Students!

Students in Health Magnet Program at Choffin Career and Technical Center
held an extremely successful blood drive on November 3, 2008. The goal of
25 units, set by The American Red Cross, was exceeded! A remarkable 30
units of life saving blood was collected at Choffin. This is enough blood
to save at least 90 lives! The students were able to exceed their goal due
to the generosity of Choffin high school and adult students and faculty who
rolled up their sleeves to save a life. In gratitude for the successful
blood drive, The American Red Cross has announced that $250 in scholarship
money will be made available to the top two Outstanding Seniors in the
Health Magnet School. Each student will receive the money paid directly to
the University of their choice for Fall 2009. Choffin will have another
blood drive in the spring.
