The Seaford Lions Club has helped to save hundred of lives as it held its annual blood drive last Saturday at the high school.
The Lions Club, in partnership with Long Island Blood Services, collected 158 pints of blood during the seven-hour drive. Each pint can save up to three people, meaning the organization potentially helped more than 450 people. The blood drive has been held for more than 20 years and Seaford consistently has one of the largest single-day collections on Long Island each year.
Donald Paulson, past president of the Lions Club and organizer of this year’s event, said the goal was to collect 145 pints. “We had a good day,” he said. “We were over our goal so we’re happy about that.”
