NYMC Shows Support for the Missing Type Campaign
What's in a letter? A lot if one of those letters is A, B or O. You may have noticed those letters have gone missing from the NYMC sign in front of Sunshine Cottage. The letters, A, B and O, have been removed to show support for the
Missing Type Campaign, launched to spread awareness about the importance of donating blood. Currently there is an emergency blood shortage in New York and in the past decade, there has been a 40% drop in blood donors resulting in a profound shortage of blood in the world and putting thousands of lives at risk. You can show your support for the Missing Type Campaign by removing the letters A, B and O from signage, signatures, postings, and publications to highlight the need for new blood donors and you can register for the NYMC blood drive on Tuesday, September 6 in the BSB. Walk-ins are welcome or you can call the New York Blood Center at 1-800-933-BLOOD (2556) to schedule an appointment.
