Saving lives one pint at a time

The Three Village Dads Foundation hosts a bi-annual blood drive in partnership with the Stony Brook Hospital Blood Bank. Since our inception, we’ve organized 14 drives, collecting over 500 pints of blood. The blood donated stays local, with the potential to save lives within our own community. Any blood not donated must be purchased by the hospital from for-profit organizations, making these drives even more crucial. To encourage participation, we offer gift cards to local restaurants and give donors the chance to win prizes through raffles. These drives are held in January and June, coinciding with National Blood Donor Month and World Blood Donor Day.
