Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci (R,C,WF,I-Huntington Station) recently joined state and national legislators in recognizing National Donate Life Month. Lupinacci acknowledged the importance of organ, eye and tissue donation with his fellow New Yorkers in hopes that they will add their names to the New York State Donate Life Registry as a way to document themselves as a designated donor.
“During the month of April, it is necessary to stress the value of Donate Life Month. As the number of people on waiting lists for organs continues to rise, it is crucial that New Yorkers are aware of how they can make a drastic difference in the lives of others,” said Lupinacci. “It is my hope that others will join me in making the decision to enroll themselves as donors to help those in need.”
