For 2021, the Massachusetts Rhode Island & Maine Chapter is hosting a month long Sleeves Up Blood Drive for Jay Zeiger Service Day. From May 1 to June 15, the Chapter is teaming up with the American Red Cross to ensure that a safe, reliable blood supply is available for patients in need.

We have set a modest goal of 30 pledges for blood donations, but with nearly 400 AI Professionals in our Chapter, we hope to exceed this goal. By clicking the link to schedule your blood donation, you know you’re on your way to helping save up to three lives!

To sign up, visit the Jay Zeiger Service Day donor page and find your nearest Red Cross donation center. A social distance-compliant reservation can be scheduled at any American Red Cross donation center near you.

About Jay Zeiger

In 2008, the Board of Directors voted to create a Jay (James) Zeiger Service Day. Jay was an active MAI member of the Massachusetts Chapter. In addition to serving on the Chapter’s Board of Directors for nine years, Jay served on various chapter and national Appraisal Institute committees. He was always an advocate for our organization. Jay lost his battle with cancer in August 2007 and the Chapter continues to honor him with a Day of Service in his memory.

Since its inception in 2008, Chapter AI Professionals have donated their time by volunteering at the PMCNewton-Needham Kids Ride, Greater Boston Food Bank and Cradles to Crayons.
