Over 100 Donors Participate in Assemblyman Braunstein’s 6th Annual Summer Blood Drive

On August 9, 2018, Assemblyman Edward C. Braunstein (D-Bayside) sponsored his 6th Annual Summer Blood Drive at the Bay Terrace Shopping Center, in conjunction with the New York Blood Center, which recently declared a blood shortage emergency in New York.

“Thank you to everyone who donated at our blood drive, which my office sponsored with the New York Blood Center. Despite the heat, over 100 donors participated, and thanks to their generosity, hundreds of lives will be saved,” said Assemblyman Braunstein.

“Additionally, I would like to thank the New York Blood Center for providing a free pair of New York Mets tickets to all of the donors; Cord Meyer Development Company’s Bay Terrace Shopping Center for providing the venue; Ben's Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers for once again providing vouchers for free pints of soup to the first 100 donors; Stop & Shop Bay Terrace for donating delicious pastries, as well as water and ice; and Farm Cow Frozen Yogurt + Creamery for providing coupons to the donors,” said Assemblyman Braunstein.
