Article By Christian Chang, Matt Cohen & Peyton Zelinsky (Liberty Lake Leaders in Training) 

Earlier this year, Justin Pritikin, son of Liberty Lake’s Owners/Directors Andy & Jill, was diagnosed with leukemia, a cancer of the blood. Thankfully his illness was discovered early and he is responding positively to treatment, but Justin still has a long road of recovery ahead of him. 

Leukemia patients like Justin are in need of blood every day. In support of Justin and other leukemia patients, please take part in our American Red Cross Blood Drive on Thursday July 26 from 2 pm to 7 pm. The blood drive will be hosted at the Homestead Clubhouse ~ 25 Homestead Drive, Columbus, NJ, 08022. 

To schedule an appointment, please contact Linda Basim at 609-298-4846 or sign up at redcrossblood.org, sponsor code: 0229930. If you are unable to schedule appointment, walk-ins are welcome.

Donating blood is a very important service to our community. Here are some facts about donating blood – 
  • Nearly 4.5 million Americans would die every year without life saving blood transfusions 
  • Every 3 seconds, someone needs blood 
  • 32,000 pints of donated blood are used daily in the United States
