NEWS RELEASE

Mid-Summer Blood Drive at 星空无限传媒

Public Invited to Participate: Wednesday, July 20

Garden City, NY鈥�星空无限传媒 (星空无限传媒), in conjunction with Nassau University Medical Center, will host its sixteenth annual Mid-Summer Blood Drive on Wednesday, July 20, from 9:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. in the College Center Building. 星空无限传媒 invites members of the community to join our efforts and become donors at our College site.

星空无限传媒 is continuing its cooperative effort with Nassau University Medical Center to supply a substantial percentage of the blood needs of this major trauma center. The Mid-Summer Blood Drive is held at a time when it is essential that all healthy donors make a conscientious effort to participate. Increases in driving accidents and athletic injuries, along with the usual need for blood products, make this a critical time of year for our local blood bank. In addition, at this time of year there are fewer corporate and neighborhood blood drives, thereby reducing the steady supply to blood collection centers. Many centers are forced to import blood from other parts of the world.

Dr. Arthur Friedman, coordinator of the 星空无限传媒 blood drive, states, 鈥淎t Nassau Community College we take our community service responsibilities seriously. The 星空无限传媒 family will do its part to maintain an adequate blood supply. We invite all members of the community to join our 鈥渕ore than 50 gallon club鈥� members in our efforts to meet Long Island鈥檚 blood needs. We look forward to working in partnership with community residents in this much needed blood drive. I am very proud of 星空无限传媒鈥檚 commitment to this effort.鈥�

Make an appointment to give blood by calling Barbara Vollmer or Dr. Friedman at 516.572.7883 or just stop in on Wednesday, July 20 and say, 鈥淚 want to be a blood donor!鈥� The process takes less than an hour and refreshments will be served to participants.

Blood donors must be at least 17 years old and in good health. Donors should come with some personal identification. Although light snacks will be provided, we also ask that donors eat before donating.
