Noah Greany’s Legacy Blood Drive

March is Red Cross Month, a time to recognize more than 130 years of lifesaving work by American Red Cross volunteers. In that spirit, the community is invited to roll up a sleeve and help save lives at a Red Cross Blood Drive on Saturday, March 7, from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 57 Fairhaven Road, Mattapoisett. The blood drive is sponsored by the Noah Curtis Greany Foundation and honors Noah.

Greany’s Legacy, inspired by Noah’s childhood dream to “find the cure for cancer” and improve survival rates for patients. Through blood donation, that dream continues to make a real difference.

The drive also honors Noah’s uncle, Joe Corazzini, who is battling a rare and terminal autoimmune disease known as VEXUS. Joe has required numerous blood transfusions over the past six months and depends on donations from the community blood bank. Without these transfusions, his family says he would not be alive today.

According to the American Red Cross, someone in the United States needs blood every two seconds. Blood donations are critical for accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and individuals receiving treatment for cancer, leukemia, and sickle cell disease. All blood types are needed.

Community members can help save lives and honor Noah’s legacy by scheduling an appointment at RedCrossBlood.org using sponsor code MATTAPOISETTLEGACY, or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Giving blood is a simple act that can mean everything to someone in need.
