During the Oct. 15 District 88 Board of Education meeting, Addison Community Blood Drive Chairperson Judy Socha presented District 88 with a check from Vitalant for $7,250 and thanked the Board and administration for their support.

The money is from blood drives hosted during the 2017-18 school year at Addison Trail and Willowbrook and goes to scholarships for District 88 students. District 88 received the check for collecting 505 pints of blood. Each unit of blood supports three lives, which means 1,515 lives have been supported thanks to the generosity of those donors.
