Blood Donors Square off to Support Their Favorite Heroes at White Plains Hospital Blood Drive on December 3

First Responders Blood Drive Challenge Aims to Bolster Blood Supply Before Seasonal Lull in Donations

Each year, during the winter months, there is a big dip in the blood supply available for donation. To help prepare for the coming depletion in blood supply, White Plains Hospital is hosting a “Boots vs. Badges vs. Bandages” blood drive- a creative way to engage blood donors and compete for support for their favorite first responders- Fire Fighters, Police Officers or EMS Providers.

The event, which is open to the public, will be held in White Plains Hospital’s Centennial Room in the main Hospital Building on Saturday, December 3 from 9:00 am – 2:30 pm.

All who donate and vote for their favorite first responders will receive a free t-shirt and be entered into a raffle to receive one of three new 40-inch televisions.
