(Cicero, NY – June 2011) Save the Date for the 5th Annual Lifesaver Blood Drive and Health Fair to be held from noon until 6 p.m., Tuesday, July 19 at Gillette Road Middle School, 6150 South Bay Road, Cicero.

“It has become one of the biggest blood drives in Central New York, in which blood donations during each of the past four years have exceeded 100 pints. Considering an average drive produces about 30 pints, this number is significant. For this reason, and with the urging of Red Cross officials, I determined that this event, which was started by Al Stirpe, is far too important to our community to end,” said Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli.

“Giving blood is one of the most important gifts a person can give and this blood drive is planned during the summer, when there is always a shortage of blood on hand. As a matter of fact, blood donations during this time decrease by 10 to 15 percent, while need escalates because of increased outdoor work and recreational activities.

This is another reason why it is very important to continue this blood drive to help save lives.”

To donate blood, if you have any questions or need more information, call 428-9651 or email abdellad@assembly.state.ny.us.
