Sept 11 Blood Drive

We held a press conference today to bring attention to the 7th annual September 11th Day of Remembrance blood drive, to be held at Fenway Park and City Hall Plaza. This is a joint effort of the American Red Cross, the Red Sox, BIDMC, Legal Seafoods, Mayor Menino and the City's Police, Fire and EMS departments, and others. The event has also expanded to other states in new England.

Shown here at the press conference are Caroline Ogonowski, daughter of John, who piloted AA Flight 11; Dr. Deborah Nagle, a surgeon at BIDMC; and Donna Morrisey, with ARC Blood Services.

You can make appointments to give blood by calling 1-800 GIVE LIFE or going to this website.
