The Good Life On Roosevelt Island Association (GLORIA) is hosting the annual Roosevelt Island Blood Drive with the NY Blood Center on Saturday June 7 at the Older Adult Center (546 Main Street) from 10 AM to 4 PM.
Please register here to schedule your appointment to donate blood.
All donors will receive (1) box of girl scout cookies and be automatically entered into a sweepstakes to win tickets to see the Subway Series at Citi Field on July 6th.
The January 2025 GLORIA Blood Drive collected 27 pints of blood. GLORIA President Andrea Jackson reported at the time:
I am happy to announce that we have successfully executed a Blood Drive today on Roosevelt Island. We were applauded by The New York Blood Bank for the collection of 27 pints of Blood, which tops donations made in the surrounding areas where thousands of residents are. Our small but quaint community was a success. Thank you all for your support and they are looking forwards to returning in a few months.
Ms Jackson adds:
GLORIA is a Senior Association with intergenerational components structured to support the Older Adults with health and wellness programs and events. We uniquely build a social Support system around them in each program and include family and friends
