A Call to Arms: The Power of Giving 🩸❤️🩸
In an exciting collaboration, we at Dandy in the Bronx are thrilled to announce our partnership with the New York Blood Center. We’re shining a spotlight on a cause that pulses at the heart of our community: blood donation.
How do I donate blood in New York City?
In New York City, you can donate blood at various locations operated by the New York Blood Center (NYBC). The NYBC is one of the largest community-based, non-profit blood collection and distribution organizations in the country. To find a donation location, visit their website where you can enter your ZIP code to find the nearest blood donation center or blood drive. They also provide information on donor eligibility, the donation process, and types of donations you can make. For more details and to schedule an appointment, go to NY Blood Center.
The Stark Reality of Blood Donation
Did you know that while a significant 62% of the population is eligible to donate blood, merely 3% take the step forward to do so? It’s a number that we have the power to change.
It’s Like a Real-Life Pokémon Go Team-Up!
Remember the thrill of joining forces in Pokémon Go to conquer a gym or win a raid? Donating blood is about that same spirit of community and teamwork, except the quest is much nobler – it’s about saving lives.
Every Tick of the Clock Counts
Every two seconds, there’s a person in the US in desperate need of blood or platelets. It could be someone’s sibling, parent, or even a fellow Pokémon trainer on their journey.
The Perks of Donating Blood
Aside from the heroic act of saving up to three lives with each pint of blood donated, there’s also a little treat for you. Who doesn’t love a good snack, especially when it comes as a thank-you for doing something incredible?
The Dandy Challenge: Be a Hero on Your Next Pokémon Adventure
We’re throwing down the gauntlet and challenging YOU. Next time you’re out there, amidst your Pokémon escapades, why not make a heroic detour? Swing by your local blood center and give the gift of life. 🚶♂️🚶♀️
Heroes Among Us

Let’s show the world the strength and unity of the Bronx. Keep gaming, keep giving, and above all, stay dandy. Here’s to those who answer the call – the true champions of our neighborhood. 🩸❤️🩸
