On Thursday, Jan. 25 St. John???s student-athletes volunteered at the Athletic Department sponsored blood drive held in Carnesecca Arena. Athletes from various sports assisted New York Blood Center workers with registration and at the fueling station, as well as donating.
???I always feel really great after donating,??? said women???s soccer midfielder Jessica Simonetti. ???It???s a great feeling to know that my one donation that day will help save the lives of at least three people.???
The blood drive gave the St. John???s community the opportunity to help the less fortunate. At the end of the day, 83 pints of whole blood were donated.
St. John???s will hold its next blood drive on Feb. 21 and 22 in Council Hall and Donovan Hall in the Residence Village, respectively. For questions regarding the blood drive, please contact Paula Migliore at 718-990-6426 or migliorp@stjohns.edu.
