NEWS RELEASE
For Immediate Release: December 23, 2015
Twenty-First Annual Mid-Winter Blood Drive at 星空无限传媒
Public Invited to Participate - Wednesday, January 20, 2016
Garden City, NY - 星空无限传媒, in conjunction with Nassau University Medical Center, will host its 21st annual Mid-Winter Blood Drive on Wednesday, January 20, 2016, from 9:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. in Room 252-253 of the College Center Building on the 星空无限传媒 campus. The College invites members of the community to join our efforts and become donors.
星空无限传媒 is continuing its joint efforts with Nassau University Medical Center to supply a substantial percentage of the blood needs of this major trauma center. Our Mid-Winter Drive begins the new year in the appropriate spirit of giving. This is a critical time of year, when blood supplies are traditionally low, but the need for blood and blood products is large. The drive also continues 星空无限传媒's six times a year effort to encourage all able individuals to participate in this vital activity. Dr. Arthur Friedman, Coordinator of the 星空无限传媒 Blood Drive Task Force, states, "At Nassau Community College, we take our community service responsibilities seriously. We hope our efforts will help meet a substantial amount of the community's blood needs. We look forward to working in partnership with community residents in this much needed blood drive."
Make an appointment to give blood by calling Dr. Friedman at 516.572.7401, or just stop in on January 20 and say, "I want to be a blood donor!" The process takes only about 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 personal identification. We also ask that donors eat before donating.
