Greetings Folks,

I am launching the 2012 Character Band Aid Drive.
Children should not have to get Blood Transfusions and Chemotherapy. IV needle sticks are painful and traumatic to deal with.
To make it easier on them we are collecting NEW UNOPENED boxes of latex free character Band-Aids
(examples:Dinosaurs, Cartoons, Comic books Heroes or any fun design)
For donation to the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology centers at
Cohen’s Childrens Medical Center in NY in honor of Liam’s remission
here is Liam on the right (in remission from DBA) and friend (in remission from brain cancer) at the treatment center

and Hemby Childrens Hospital in Charlotte N.C. In honor of Bryson’s Fuel Charity
Here is our new friend Bryson who has joined the drive

and my new friend Dillon fighting DBA as well (isolation following a risky/life saving bone marrow transplant)


Last year I collected over 2200 boxes for donation. We are looking at a september end date (Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month)

Sadly, they are running low. Which only shows the volume of pediatric cancer patients that are seen.
My goal this year is to double that - yea that's right double. so lets make this happen.
you can mail them to one of our drive coordinators

Att: Stephanie/Band Aid Drive
Coldwell Banker Residential,
5018 Expressway Dr.
South Ronkonkoma, NY 11779.

or drop them off if you are in Huntington (long island) at
Sugarbeez Candy Store
326F Walt Whitman Road,
Huntington Station, NY.
631-923-0190



ETA
Campite Sportshop
1877 New York Ave.
Huntington Station NY
631 271 4969


Southdown Carvel
210-C Wall Street,
Huntington, NY.
11743
631 351 5818



More drop spots will come along. I will start talking to the ranges as well as firearms shops to assist in this drive.
Let's make a difference in these kids lives.

Thank you in advance
Stay Safe and God Bless

Is there any way to make a donation towards this drive if we're unable to get to one of the drop off spots? IM/email me and let me know. Thanks.

You can mail in a box or two. We are not looking for money.
However if you wish to manke a monitary donation I would suggest St. Baldricks or Make a Wish (2 other charities I am involved with)

https://www.stbaldricks.org - search Anthony Gorman

or

https://secure.wish.org/?Amount=

Thanks

Well, I do not know how I missed this.

I will be contacting my supplier tomorrow for you, Anthony.

Send Liam my regards and keep an eye out for the Ouchies.

Awesome. The sales and marketing manager at Ouchies is looking into a company donation too. Hopefully I will hear from them soon.

Thanks for posting a pic.
