Report: YOUTH BECOME A PART OF THE BLOOD DONATION DRIVE

Mobilization of the youth to donate blood:

It is ideal to have people aged from 18 to 35 years to donate blood to promote good health. That is why our blood donation drive targeted the youth more than anyone else. In order to do that, we had tie-ups with large companies with big numbers of young working personnel and colleges where the students were very keen to participate in the drive.

Corporate Blood Donation Drive:

A blood donation rally was kicked off in corporate offices on June 14, 2011. This continued throughout the whole month till July 14, 2011. These were at different branches of Bank of America; RadioCity; Mediacom; Mafoi& others. The blood donation drive conducted at these corporate offices was very successful. The maximum blood was collected at 247 Corporate Park, Vikroli. There were 233 donors at the corporate park in 1 day.

College Blood donation Drive:

World Blood Donor Month also saw donation drives in various colleges in order to motivate and bring about behavior change in the youth of today. A number of youngsters were motivated and they became a very important part of the campaign.
