Cartoonists Draw Blood is expanding to NYC in 2018
I’ve been working behind-the-scenes throughout the year trying to connect National Cartoonists Society chapter chairs with the correct American Red Cross representative connection in their region to expand “Cartoonists Draw Blood” events beyond Washington, DC. We are excited to announce the Manhattan chapter of NCS will be joining in this October 25! Not gonna lie, it’s been hard to get the right people to help hook everything together, but this is a great start to make this program grow. I’ve heard interest from other chapters, so hopefully by this time next year I’d like to add a few more cities to the list and get the blood pumping.
Big thanks to American Red Cross, National Cartoonists Society, and all the volunteer cartoonists who will be donating their time and talents to the blood drive — as well as encouraging blood donation.
Here are the two “Cartoonists Draw Blood” drives we have this year. I’ll be representing at the DC event tomorrow morning.
