Farmingdale Univertsity to hold blood drive Oct. 31

Farmingdale State College and Long Island Blood Services are sponsoring a community blood drive on Wednesday, October 31, 10:30 a.m. to 7p.m. on the Farmingdale State campus in Roosevelt Hall's Multi- Purpose Room. The college is located on Route 110.

The Farmingdale State College Blood Drive on October 31, 2006 was a record-breaking success and the "bestever" recruitment effort. The record breaking results yielded 130 donations.

Long Island hospitals require almost 800 pints of blood per day. With a single donation, a person can help up to four people. One in three people will need blood sometime during his/her lifetime.

Donors must be between 16 and 75, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and be in general good health. At the time of donation, donors must have either photo or signed identification and know their social security number.

For further information, contact the Student Activities Office at 631-420-2104 or Community Relations at 631-420-2733.
