Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 2025, as Blood Donor Awareness Month in the State of New York

This resolution asks Governor Hochul to officially declare January 2025 as Blood Donor Awareness Month in New York State. It does not create new laws or directly affect individuals or organizations; instead, it symbolically recognizes blood donors and the American Red Cross's role in collecting blood for hospitals. The resolution cites the importance of blood donations (noting 225,000 units collected in NY last year) and expresses gratitude for donors' contributions. As a procedural memorial resolution, it requests the Governor's proclamation but has no binding effect on policy or funding.
