Blood Drive March 24

“March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.” This simple adage has always been understood to refer to the weather. But here at ACI, we can understand and apply it in a more profoundly meaningful way.

March comes in this year like a lion – loudly roaring a danger: a blood emergency was declared in New York City, as blood supplies are critically low.
