Why:In BC, we need 10,000 blood donations each month to serve hospital patients. 1 in 2 people can donate however 1 in 60 do. The #1 reason people don't donate is because they have never been asked - so consider this our ask! Donors Needed.
How: Book online at blood.ca or download our free GiveBlood APP to book your appointment today! Groups of 3 or more can book by emailing bookagroupbc@blood.ca; we book you in and send you sign up sheets.
Need transportation? We can provide transportation on the LIFEBUS (and we have amazing pre-donation snacks too) just ask when you book and we will pick up your team. Have some fun and save lives.
What do you need to know?You must be 17+ to donate. Upper age limit is 71 for a first -time donor but if you have donated even once before there is no upper age limit to donate as long as you meet eligibility requirements!
BE SURE TO FILL IN A BALLOT IN REFRESHMENTS SO YOUR TEAM GETS CREDIT!
