EMERGENCY!!!! It is official that we are in a Blood Shortage Crisis and you can make a difference,” says Sullivan Rotary’s (Monticello, Liberty, Livingston Manor) Honorary Blood Drive Chair Sheriff Mike Schiff. Sheriff Schiff has donated at every blood drive held by the Rotary Clubs over the last 5 years – and that is a lot of blood. When it was announced last week that Sullivan County is in a Blood Crisis Emergency, the Sheriff was asked if he would help to reach the goal of this Blood Drive. Without hesitation, he accepted the request to serve. Sixty percent of the Sullivan County population is eligible to donate blood to any blood drives held. In total, only 2% of those eligible donate. Sheriff Schiff is proud to lend his support as this year’s Honorary Chair sharing, “You don’t have to be a First Responder to save a life! Donate Blood Now!” The Sullivan Rotary Clubs Annual Heart-a-thon Blood Drive during the Heart-a-thon is scheduled to take place from Noon until 6pm on Friday, February 21st at Resorts World - Catskills. Please sign up to donate blood remembering that each pint collected saves 3 lives. Sign-up today at https://donate.nybc.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/321501 .
