“Additionally, I would like to thank the New York Blood Center for providing a voucher for a free pair of New York Mets tickets to all of the donors; Cord Meyer Development Company’s Bay Terrace Shopping Center for providing the venue; Ben's Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers for once again providing vouchers for free pints of soup to the first 100 donors; and Stop & Shop of Bay Terrace for donating delicious pastries, as well as water and ice,” said Assemblyman Braunstein.
