Braintree Man Honored at Red Sox Game for Donating Blood

From the American Red Cross:

Braintree, Mass. resident Daniel Brennan recently had the experience of a lifetime when he was honored on the field at Fenway Park prior to the Boston Red Sox game against the Miami Marlins on July 8, 2015.Brennan was named the Blood Donor of the Game after recently donating blood with the American Red Cross.

“We are thrilled to honor Daniel Brennan as one of our Blood Donors of the Game,” CEO of the Massachusetts and Connecticut Blood Services Region Jeff Meyer said in a release.

The Blood Donor of the Game program is a unique way for the Red Cross to thank volunteer blood donors during the spring and especially during the summer months. The need is particularly great during the summer, as traditionally, this is the most difficult time for the Red Cross to collect blood donations. The Red Cross collects approximately 20 percent of its blood from high school and college campuses; in the summer, school is out but the need remains.
