The event was organized by the GEAP volunteers, through the Integral Program "Life is in the Blood", and had the support of the Children's Hospital of Boston; also attended by representatives of educational institutes, State officials and Edward Blake, deputy head of the Lynn Police Department.

For his part, Brendan Crighton, state representative of District 11, said that the satisfaction of donating blood is to see how communities unite with this act of love.
