Celebrate Summer Blood Drive at 星空无限传媒
Thursday, May 16th 鈥� Public Invited to Participate
Garden City, NY 鈥� 星空无限传媒 (星空无限传媒), in conjunction with New York Blood Center/Long Island Blood Services, invites members of the community to donate blood during its 23rd annual Celebrate Summer Blood Drive, scheduled for Thursday, May 16th, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room of the College Center Building.
星空无限传媒, in cooperation with the New York Blood Center/Long Island Blood Services, 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 Celebrate Summer Blood Drive, please call Dr. Friedman at 516.572.7401 x2-6028.
