According to the Trenton Times:
“An actor who is part of the wildly popular “Twilight” movies will visit the area tomorrow to draw attention to two truly worthy causes. Alex’s Lemonade Stand, which raises money to fight childhood cancer, and the Community Blood Council of New Jersey welcome Peter Facinelli, better known as Dr. Carlisle Cullen of the vampire Cullens.
Organizers of the event at Quaker Bridge Mall see it as a way to involve young people in a very simple act with profound reverberations. Statistics show that most of us will need blood or blood products in our lifetime, yet less than 5 percent of the eligible population donate. Many members of that eligible population are fans of Mr. Facinelli and his work as the empathetic doctor.
They can emulate the good doctor’s kindness with a donation. A single pint of blood can save the lives of three people. And a staggering 4.5 million Americans would die each year if it were not for blood donations.”
