On June 14th, 2010 the Long Island Business Institute held its second and very successful blood drive. Students, staff and faculty all throughout the Flushing campus came out to support and donated 1 pint each totaling 31 pints. With those 31 pints of blood, a potential 93 lives will be saved. In New York State and New Jersey alone, there are an estimated 2300 pints that are needed daily. High school juniors and seniors donate the most blood in the United States. During the summer months, there is usually a shortage of blood due to the summer break. In September, LIBI will host its 2nd annual LIBI Blood Drive. If you were unable to come out during the spring or would like to help potentially save three lives, then please make sure that you donate next time.
