Kaplan PTA President Dee Lanave says that a goal of 75 pints has been set. Last year, the Kaplan PTA won “the cup” with a 54 pints being donated. Students at Kaplan benefit enormously from the efforts of a tremendous PTA, and their coordination of this blood drive is just one more example of an outstanding community effort.
If you are able to give blood, we appreciate you considering this opportunity right here at BOCES.
