06.09.2011 ~ PBLL's 1st Annual Blood Drive

Pelham Bay Little League will be holding its 1st Annual Blood Drive with the Red Cross. Blood Drive is scheduled for Saturday June 11th from 10am - 3pm. You don't need to be a New York Yankee or a New York Met to be a hero! Just one pint of blood can save the lives of three people, so we hope that you consider signing up for the Blood Drive.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email Allison @ BloodDrive@PelhamBayLL.com or give her a call at 718.822.3705.

We will be running a Raffle for 2 Box Seats to CitiField to watch the Los Angeles Angels take on the New York Mets on June 18th. THE SEATS ARE GREAT ~ Row 27 behind the First Base Dugout to be exact!!! Everyone that donates Blood on 6/11 is entered in the drawing and you will receive the tickets at the end of the day on 6/11.

We are looking to make this Blood Drive a big success. Thank you!
