Long Island hospitals are desperately low on blood, and have been since last Fall. My son, Tony, has decided to do something about it as part of the community service project he must lead in order to achieve the Boy Scouts' highest rank, Eagle. It's a project to build awareness, consideration and face-to-face recruitment of which any marketer would be proud.
Even if you're terribly squeamish about giving blood, please steel yourself and come out to make a difference to the community. And my son. (Plus, we're planning an after party!) If you don't live on Long Island, please forward this page to someone who does.
Tony and about a dozen teenage volunteers have recruited at supermarkets, train stations and in this photo, at Maria Regina Church, where the blood drive will take place on March 29. Here are the details:
Time and Date: Sunday, March 29, 8 am - 1 pm
Location: Maria Regina Church, in the school auditorium, 3945 Jerusalem Ave., Seaford, NY, 11783.
Sign up on this page. Or call Tony at 516-732-7264.
