Last week, we welcomed LiveOnNY and our friend, advocate, and blood and organ recipient Lauren for a special tour of our new Rye Campus! Like us, LiveOnNY is all about saving lives—they champion organ and tissue donation while supporting patients, families, and donors every step of the way. We loved hosting them at our new headquarters and celebrating the lifesaving work we share. Thanks, LiveOnNY, for all you do, and thank you donors for making our work possible! ❤️

Congratulations to Leon, our Labor Day Sweepstakes winner! Leon’s donation journey began in his home country of Jamaica, and when he moved to the U.S., he continued his lifesaving commitment. Today, he lives in Connecticut, works in the Bronx, and makes time after work to donate platelets at our Grand Central Donor Center, already reaching 30 donations with NYBC. For his prize, Leon selected a three-night trip to New Orleans, where he’ll enjoy the city’s unforgettable sights, sounds, and flavors. A huge thank you to our team for curating such incredible experiences to recognize and celebrate our donors—you make moments like this possible!

Big wins happen when nonprofits team up for good! 🎉 Recently, the Westchester County Pitch Your Peers team hosted their very first Donor Center Feed-In Blood Drive in Rye. Their mission is to rally women around local philanthropy and champion causes that meet community needs — and this weekend, that meant giving blood to help patients in need. ❤️ Huge thanks to Pitch Your Peers and all of our feed-In donor groups for partnering with us to save lives. Want to host a drive but don’t have the space? A Donor Center Feed-In might be the perfect fit. Learn more: www.nybc.org/host.
