Schools

Blood Drive

s avidon, Neighbor

Portledge School is pleased to host a Blood Drive in conjunction with the Long Island Blood Services.  Each blood donation can save as many as three lives and the need on Long Island often exceeds the amount donated. 

All donors must be over 16 years old (with parental consent) and under 76 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds, and be in good health.   Donors can be taking medication and still donate blood.  Donors should remember to bring a valid ID (picture or signature) and donor card, if they have one, eat a good meal before they come (nutritious, not fatty), and drink plenty of fluids (juice and water).

If you would like to sign-up or need further information, please contact Karen Mucciaccio at kmucciaccio@portledge.org or (516) 750-3131.
