1. Canadian Blood Services
We are entering the third year of this service project. It is a project that clubs can do that does not cost you anything.

2. Kira’s Story

3. From heart surgery that can require up to five donors to car accident victims who may need 50, donating blood is truly a gift of life. Consider joining us in our efforts to meet this vital need.
It is a gift of life… most days it takes about minutes from the time you register to the time you leave.

4. We have until the end of December to reach our goal.
District 7’s Blood Donation Pledge: 75
Units donated so far: 18 units (as of Sept 15)
We have until the end of December to reach our goal.
OK, so this may seem like it is not possible for us to achieve our goal but it’s easy. We only need 53 people to donate in the next 3 months. That’s easy to achieve. In fact, we will likely exceed our pledge.
