The Gary Letizia Memorial Blood Drive

Mayor Derek Armstead, the Linden Fire Department, and New York Blood Services invite you to donate blood to save a life. In honor of the late Gary Letizia. Be the reason for someone’s tomorrow.

  • What: Blood drive. Gary Letizia was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 68. If not for the countless gallons of donated blood that kept him valiantly battling cancer, we wouldn’t have been able to create those extra memories that final year. Please consider donating so that someone else’s loved one may receive that same precious gift of time. – Dr. Matt Letizia. Save lives, Get Coin. Join us to give blood and get the Gary Letizia Memorial Donor Coin as our thanks.
