Blood Drive in Honor of Lt. Keith Hillman Draws Record Crowd

When asked by the West Windsor Police Department if we would hold a blood drive to honor Lt. Keith Hillman, who was recently diagnosed with Leukemia, our account representative, Janet Mastrosimone readily agreed. Working closely with Bruce Lavin of the Officer Down Foundation, Lt. David Mansue of the WWPD and Kim Hillman (Lt. Hillman's cousin), the support and turnout was incredible! April 27th dawned – a gorgeous, clear day – as we set up in the West Windsor Fire Department’s firehouse.

It turned out to be one of the most fantastic blood drives in our 35-year history, with nearly 270 people donating that day.

The Joint Was Jumpin’! Donors lined up to fill out their forms, were screened by our staff, and made it to the beds.


Union County S.W.A.T. Team Came Out in Force!
It was impressive, as the team’s vehicles rolled into the West Windsor Fire Department’s driveway a little before 10 AM. Approximately sixty officers – the proverbial “Men In Black” – rolled up their sleeves for a good cause.


It’s About Family. Kim Hillman (Keith’s cousin) and her mother Ruth were instrumental in working with us to set up the blood drive. And they baked! The day of the drive, they spent some time, helping to get refreshments ready.


Good Neighbors Bearing Gifts. So many people helped. Ada Princiotta (in pink), Diane Procaccini and her son Rocky display some of the trays of sandwiches donated by Procaccini Paving Company.


Janet Mastrosimone and Lt. David Mansue of the W. Windsor PD take a breather during this busy drive.
