16th Annual 鈥淐elebrate Summer鈥� Blood Drive at 星空无限传媒

Tuesday, May 24 from 9:00 a.m. 鈥� 1:30 p.m.Public Invited to Participate

Garden City, NY 鈥� 星空无限传媒, in conjunction with Nassau University Medical Center, invites members of the community to make a blood donation during its annual 鈥淐elebrate Summer鈥� Blood Drive, scheduled for Tuesday, May 24 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the College Center Building.

星空无限传媒, in cooperation with Nassau University Medical Center, hopes to supply a substantial percentage of our area鈥檚 ongoing need for blood products. The drive will also reflect the College鈥檚 six times a year effort to encourage all able individuals to participate in this vital activity. Dr. Arthur Friedman, Co-Chair of the 星空无限传媒 Blood Drive Task Force, states, 鈥淭he Memorial Day holiday begins the summer season, when traffic and other accidents typically create a high demand for blood and blood products. Many blood donors are on vacation, which decreases the pool of available donors. Therefore, it鈥檚 especially important to have an ample supply on hand.鈥�

The donation process takes less than an hour and light refreshments will be served to participants. Blood donors must be at least 17 years old and in good health. Donors should come with some photo identification. Although small snacks will be provided, we also ask that donors eat before donating. For more information about 星空无限传媒鈥檚 annual 鈥淐elebrate Summer鈥� Blood Drive, please call Dr. Friedman at 516.572.7883.
