Thanksgiving Blood Drive at Nassau Community College

Public Invited to Participate

Nassau Community College, in conjunction with the Nassau University Medical Center, invites members of the community to make a blood donation during its Thanksgiving blood drive held in the College Center Building.

NCC, along with Nassau University Medical Center, hopes to supply a substantial percentage of our area's ongoing need for blood products. The drive also reflects the College's six times a year effort to encourage all able individuals to participate in this vital activity. Dr. Arthur Friedm an, Co-Chair of the NCC Blood Drive Task Force, states, "Through our educational efforts to increase the number of blood donors, and our own contributions, the College hopes we will help meet a substantial level of the community's blood needs. We look forward to working in partnership with community residents in this much needed blood drive."

, or just stop in on Thursday, November 18 and say, "I want to be a blood donor!" The donation process takes less than an hour and refreshments will be served to participants. NCC's Thanksgiving blood drive is sponsored by the Phi Theta Kappa honor society (evening division), the Engineering Society of Nassau Community College and the Society of Women Engineers.

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.
