Meet Anthony, Donor Specialist, who was helping save lives double time at our Staten Island Donor Center. Our incredible team members care for donors every day and make a lasting impact for patients. 💙

Right now, platelets are critically low, leaving our most vulnerable patients at risk: those battling cancer, recovering from a life-saving transplant, or fighting for their lives after an accident. This isn’t a routine shortage—it’s a crisis.

We need over 500 new platelet appointments this week to prevent a devastating shortage in our hospitals. Your platelet donation can make the difference.

Anna's father had a simple but powerful motto: "Get MAD" — Make A Difference.

As a 9/11 first responder, NYPD Sergeant, and avid blood donor, he embodied those words every day. Thanks to the generosity of blood donors, he lived nearly 20 more years — years filled with family milestones and a lasting legacy of service.

Today, Anna continues his mission by donating blood and hosting blood drives herself. This 9/11, let's honor the heroes who gave everything. Get MAD. Make a difference. Donate blood.
