Hi, my name is Jessy Davidson and I will be holding a Scholarship blood drive and
bone marrow registry drive on March 1 from 10-4 at the John Theissen Children’s
Foundation, 1881 Wantagh Ave, Wantagh. I am hoping to earn a small college
scholarship through the New York Blood Center Bloodstock® Scholarship Program.
Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood and more than 44,000 blood
donations are needed every day. Summer is the time of year when supplies are low and
donations are most needed because a large portion of them come from school
sponsored events. Every donation counts when it comes to saving lives. Thank you!
Appointments are available every 15 minutes from 10am -3:45pm. If you are
interested please contact me at mindyruns@aol.com to schedule your appointment….
