On August 10, 2017, Assemblyman Edward C. Braunstein (D-Bayside) sponsored his 5th Annual Summer Blood Drive at the Bay Terrace Shopping Center, in conjunction with the New York Blood Center, which declared a blood shortage emergency in June. “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. “Thank you to the New York Blood Center for providing free pairs of New York Mets tickets to all of the donors. Additionally, I would like to thank Cord Meyer Development Company and the Bay Terrace Shopping Center for providing the venue; Stop & Shop Bay Terrace for donating delicious pastries, as well as water and ice; and Ben's Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers for once again providing vouchers for free pints of soup to the first 100 donors.”
