On March 18, 2024, the New York Local Health Care Safety Net Committee hosted the first Mike Hodge Memorial Blood Drive for Entertainment and Media Performers at the SAG-AFTRA New York office since before the pandemic. Held in conjunction with the New York Blood Center, the blood drive saw a record number of pints of blood collected at a New York Local Health Care Safety Net Committee-hosted blood drive. Attendees who came to donate blood were invited to an offsite group headshot workshop hosted by photographer Jim Manly the following week.
