Assemblyman John Mikulin (R,C,I,Ref-Bethpage) is pleased to announce 74 pints of blood were collected at the Give the Gift of Life Blood Drive he sponsored on Thursday, January 31. These donations will save over 220 lives.

“Normally, blood centers see a decline in the winter months, often resulting in blood shortage emergencies due to the weather,” said Mikulin. “It was great to see so many people come out to donate 74 pints of blood collectively, which will help save over 220 lives. I hope during my next blood drive we can top this number and save even more people in our community.”
