Resorts World Catskills Hosting “Monticello Rotary Community Blood Drive Challenge for Childhood Cancers”
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Monticello, NY – Resorts World Catskills announced today it’s hosting the “Monticello Rotary Community Blood Drive Challenge for Childhood Cancers” on Monday, September 19 from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the RW Epicenter. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and eligible donors are encouraged to give blood or platelets to support kids, teens and young adults battling cancer, as well as others in need of transfusions. Mary Kendell, a local nurse who had a terminal blood disorder when she was eleven-years-old, will serve as honorary chairwoman of the event.
Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome if space permits. All donors should bring their donor ID card or ID with name and photo and remember to eat and drink. The New York Blood Center only collects blood from individuals who are healthy and feeling well at the time of donation – and who meet other eligibility requirements.
Maintaining the health and safety of our guests is our top priority. Donors are asked to self-screen for COVID-19 before coming in to donate. Wearing face masks is optional for both donors and staff.
Donors:
- Must be 14 days symptom-free if recovered from COVID-19
- May NOT donate if you have a positive diagnostic test or have experienced symptoms of COVID-19 in the last 14 days
- May NOT donate if you have been told to self-quarantine due to exposure risk, including travel. We follow current State and CDC travel recommendations:
If you are unsure whether to donate, or if you have donated recently and you develop symptoms of COVID-19 or you test positive for COVID-19, please call 800-688-0900.
