The Whippany Fire Department is proud to announce its upcoming blood drive on Monday, February 3rd, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the firehouse located at 10 Troy Hills Rd, Whippany, NJ. This vital community event honors the memory of Gary Letizia, a beloved Whippany resident who bravely battled leukemia before passing away in 2022.
This blood drive is particularly meaningful as it highlights the critical role blood donations play in saving lives. Gary Letizia’s son, Dr. Matt Letizia, will be present at the event to share his personal story and speak about the profound impact of blood transfusions. He will discuss how these life-saving donations gave his father an extra year with his family. “Every drop counts,” Dr. Letizia emphasizes. “By donating blood, you can help save the life of someone you know and love.”
The Whippany Fire Department encourages all eligible community members to come out and support this important cause. All blood types are needed, and your generous donation can make a significant difference in the lives of patients battling illness and injury. Whether you’re a seasoned donor or a first-timer, your contribution is invaluable.
