A familiar face to our team and donors alike, NYBC Volunteer Gail Cohen was recently featured as the NY1 News New Yorker of the Week, recognizing her four decades relationship with New York Blood Center. Donating her first time in 1984, Gail has donated blood or platelets more than 100 times and volunteers several times monthly at blood drives around NY. Gail is a true lifesaver, and we're so proud to see her hard work recognized 👏 #VolunteerRecognition

Happy Pride NYC! We're so proud to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community today and one of our own – Grand Marshal DaShawn Usher. DaShawn's work with Project Achieve at New York Blood Center Enterprises laid the groundwork for founding Mobilizing Our Brothers Initiative (MOBI), an organization dedicated to fostering social connectivity and personal development for Black gay and queer individuals. "MOBI was birthed out of NYBC. While at Project Achieve, we identified a gap between research and reality, which inspired the creation of MOBI to provide lifesaving information and support to the community," DaShawn explained. Learn more about DaShawn's nearly 20-year career in healthcare advocacy, and don't forget to say "hi" if you see him at today's parade! *wave*

🌟 Exciting Collaboration Alert! 🌟 New York City Council Member Mercedes Narcisse and New York Blood Center have teamed up with longtime NYBC friend, Sickle Cell Warrior Stacey Sottile to emphasize the importance of blood donations for those with Sickle Cell Disease. Narcisse emphasized the vital role of blood donations for patients with sickle cell disease. "One in three Black and African American donors is a match for Sickle Cell patients, making these donations incredibly impactful," said Narcisse. Blood transfusions are essential for managing sickle cell disease, providing a crucial lifeline during sickle cell crises. Council Member Narcisse is actively involved in the legislative efforts of two NYC Council bills aiming to educate medical professionals about sickle cell disease and its treatment, and another hoping to provide the NYC Council with data on students with sickle cell disease. View Councilwoman Mercedes Narcisse and Sickle Cell Warrior Stacey Sottile PSA on the importance of a diverse blood supply below. bit.ly/4cvJpxj

NYBC was proud to recently hold another Future Leaders in Science Symposium, which welcomes high school age students from the tri state area to tour our laboratory facilities and explore a career in research. At the event, students were invited to a series of presentations from LFKRI scientists Sara Lustigman , PhD, Divya Beri, PhD, Francesca Vinchi, PhD, and Daniel Mclaughlin, PhD, who presented on a variety of topics such as molecular parasitology and hematopoietic stem cell research.
