Several of the students told the BP that they themselves were born prematurely, which led them to be interested in the charity.
"It's a wonderful thing that you've embraced the notion of helping others at such a young age," BP Oddo told the students.
After the meeting, BP Oddo presented the students with a proclamation, declaring May 26th “IS 51 Day,” and took questions from them about quality of life issues on Staten Island.
