On August 6, 2020, Assemblyman Edward C. Braunstein (D-Bayside) sponsored his 8th Annual Summer Blood Drive at the Bay Terrace Shopping Center, in conjunction with the New York Blood Center.
“Due to COVID-19, hospitals in New York are in urgent need of blood donations,” said Assemblyman Braunstein. “Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of over 100 Northeast Queens residents who participated in our blood drive, more than 300 lives will be saved. I would like to express my gratitude to the New York Blood Center for its continuing partnership, and to the Cord Meyer Development Company’s Bay Terrace Shopping Center for providing a large space that allowed for ample social distancing.”
