The Tappan Zee Bridge was lit in red for five days to mark the competition. Clarkstown took both the prize for the most blood collected and the prize for the most newly registered Red Cross blood donors in Senator Bill Weber’s Five Towns of Rockland Blood Drive Challenge.
The Red Cross set a goal of collecting 100 units from the challenge and that goal was exceeded with 111 units of blood collected and 64 first time donors participated across the five towns.
Clarkstown – 30 units, 18 first time donors
Orangetown – 27 units, 16 first time donors
Stony Point – 21 units, 12 first time donors
Ramapo – 18 units, 11 first time donors
Haverstraw – 15 units, 7 first time donors
“Only three percent of the population regularly donates blood, so these 64 new donors are helping increase that number. Thank you to everyone who donated, thank you to the supervisors of the five towns for their help in promoting it, and thank you to Orangetown Supervisor Teresa Kenny for personally donating blood. I am overwhelmed by the support we saw from the community and I look forward to making this Blood Drive Challenge an annual event.” said Senator Bill Weber.
“It’s a great honor to have the Town of Clarkstown lead the way in donating the highest number of units and having the most first-time donors participate. Donating blood is a selfless act of charity that truly saves lives and I couldn’t be more proud of our residents and town staff who made donations. Thank you everyone who gave and to Senator Weber for organizing this wonderful contest where everyone involved is a winner,” said Clarkstown Supervisor George Hoehmann.
Senator Weber’s Five Towns of Rockland Blood Drive Challenge was done in partnership with the American Red Cross. This will now be an annual event.

“Thank you to President Trump and his administration for ending congestion pricing. Rockland County has been treated like an ATM for the MTA for far too long, and we refuse to be a doormat any longer. Fighting against this unfair toll has been one of my biggest priorities while running for and serving in the New York State Senate. Now, we must ensure that congestion pricing remains a thing of the past—for the sake of our hardworking Rockland County commuters.”
