Mets fans from across the borough
gathered at Citi Field to
help save a life during the team’s
semi-annual Fan Blood Drive
on Jan. 8.
Th e New York Mets partnered
with the New York Blood Center
to help replenish the blood supply
during the winter months.
Each donor received two vouchers
for Mets tickets.
“Th e NY Mets special fan
blood drive is a vitally important
event for patients and hospitals
all over New York. Held
every winter around the holidays,
the drive comes as we
work to replenish our declining
blood reserves, with families out
of town and regular donations
down,” said Andrea Cefarelli,
Senior Executive Director of
Recruitment & Marketing at
New York Blood Center. “Th is
winter is no diff erent; we are in
need of O negative, B negative
and A negative blood, with all
types lower than ideal.”
