Today, the NY Blood Center gave them a certificate of recognition because 5,000 blood donations have been given given at this location! The NY Blood Center estimates that 15,000 people were helped from these donations.
Thousands of people were able to be helped because of Haley’s Comet’s blood drives. The Brooklyn Borough President gave this proclamation to Haley’s Comets:
The blood drives are held in memory of Haley Gray Daquara, who died in 2013 from a rare blood disorder. The blood drive is a beautiful way to honor her throughout the year.
Today, Decemeber 29th, the blood drive is happening today until 7:45 pm – if you want to do some good before the year ends.
Thank you to Haley’s Comets for holding these blood drives. When I have gone to the hospital and seen my loved ones with a bag of blood dripping into their arm, I’ve thought: “thank God for people who have donated blood.”
Thank you Bobby Daquara for taking the time to organize, advertise and incentivize people to donate blood all of these years!
Hugs,
