The New York City Paralegal Association knows how important it is to make a difference in the legal community, but we also understand the importance of helping our communities dealing with the fight against cancer. Please join us to help make a difference from September 12-September 17, 2011. Tell your friends, co-workers, family members, and everyone you know is welcome! Let us make a difference together and just tell everyone that the New York City Paralegal Association sent you!
At this time of year blood supplies run short but patients with cancer frequently need transfusions daily to survive. Blood and platelets have no substitute and can only be stored for limited periods of time. Last year, approximately 40,000 units of blood products were transfused to MSKCC patients, many of whom are children. Your participation will help us meet these vital needs. Please share this precious gift with our patients, and encourage others to donate as well. Both general donations and donations directed toward a particular patient are welcome.
If you have any specific questions about blood and platelet donation, please call Joe Licata at 212-639-8177 or Mary Thomas at 212-639-3335. For complete information regarding donor eligibility and the donation process, please visit www.mskcc.org/blooddonations.
