Allendale NJ, the County of Bergen proudly honored Dr. Matthew Letizia for his efforts in organizing the Gary Letizia Memorial Blood Drive, held at the Allendale Fire Department, in memory of his late father, Gary Letizia. This heartfelt event not only commemorates Gary’s life but also raises awareness about the critical importance of blood donations.
The memorial blood drive serves as a reminder of the life-saving power of blood donations and highlights the ongoing need for donors. Dr. Letizia’s work in public health has had a significant impact across Bergen County, and his dedication continues to inspire others.
“Gary was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 68,” Dr. Letizia shared. “If not for the countless gallons of donated blood that kept him valiantly battling cancer, we wouldn’t have been able to create those extra memories that final year.”
Dr. Letizia is urging Bergen County residents to consider donating blood, offering others the same precious gift of time that extended his father’s life. The drive not only pays tribute to Gary’s memory but also supports a vital cause that could help save countless lives.
Through his dedication and leadership, Dr. Letizia continues to bring the community together for a meaningful cause, ensuring that those in need have access to life-saving blood donations.
