The New York Power Authority Gives Back in a Big Way

Hear from Alyson Danielewicz (pictured below), Chairperson at New York Power Authority &

ConnectLife Blood Drive Sponsor

“My involvement with ConnectLife began years ago after attending a blood drive held in memory of a friend’s daughter who was tragically killed in a car accident. That experience showed me how critical it is to have blood available when families are facing some of life’s most difficult moments. It is a need we hope we never have, but one we are incredibly grateful for when a crisis occurs.

That is why I am especially grateful to work for the New York Power Authority, which not only supports our regularly scheduled blood drives but was also eager to support an additional blood drive when one of our colleagues was seriously injured in a tragic accident.

Just as importantly, NYPA employees are what makes our drives so successful. Time and again, they show up, roll up their sleeves, and donate without hesitation. It is a reminder of the kind of people I am fortunate to work with every day. That willingness to step up in a time of need reflects the compassion and commitment to community that defines the New York Power Authority. Knowing that ConnectLife donations stay local makes every donation even more meaningful, helping our community when it needs it most."

Thank you to the New York Power Authority for sharing their WHY. Summertime is one of the hardest times for our local blood supply. ConnectLife is so thankful to our community partners for hosting blood drives in the summer when donations are needed the most. Donate blood. Give hope. Save lives.
