NYS Senator Dean Murray and NYS Assemblyman Joe DeStefano recently supported a blood donation event at the Yaphank Fire Department. The event was organized by the department's Ladies Auxiliary and resulted in the collection of 83 pints of blood, potentially saving up to 249 lives.
The importance of blood donation is highlighted by statistics showing that approximately 6.8 million people donate blood annually in the United States, providing around 13.6 million units of whole blood. Events like these are crucial as "every donation counts and your contribution could make all the difference to someone in need."
Senator Murray and Assemblyman DeStefano expressed their gratitude to everyone who participated, contributing to what they described as a successful community effort.
