Camden Catholic High School, Cherry Hill, recently held its annual American Red Cross Blood Drive. This year’s blood drive was once again dedicated to the memories of Richard Stefanacci, a former Camden Catholic student, and Andi Szabolcs, a former long-term Camden Catholic substitute teacher, who both died after illnesses three years ago. Some 186 students, a school record, stepped up to the challenge this year. “This was our biggest and best drive ever,” said Noemi Merenyi, the teacher who oversees the event each year. “Even Richard’s family came to donate.”
