Join the Canadian Blood Services in the 450 Challenge!
The demand for blood and plasma is rising, but there’s not enough donors to keep up with the rising patient need.
Canadian Blood Services needs 450 new donors across the country, everyday this winter. 1 in 2 Canadians are eligible to give blood, yet only 1 in 76 actually does.
Join the challenge and be part of a critical mission. By donating blood or plasma, you are joining a community committed to saving lives. You also help patients who rely on blood products being there when they need them the most.
There are so many ways to help, and each action means saving lives in different ways:
- Become a blood, platelet, or plasma donor
- Blood products have a limited shelf life, which is why the need is constant. One donation could save three lives.
- Join the Stem Cell Registry
- You could be a match or the nearly 1,000 people in Canada who are waiting for a stem cell transplant.
- Register your intent to donate organs and tissues
- Help more than 4,000 people in Canada that are waiting for an organ transplant.
- Donate financially
- When you donate financially, you fuel important recruitment activities that help us grow Canada’s donor base.
Book an appointment today, tomorrow, or in the coming weeks to help fuel Canada’s lifeline. Let’s get Canada’s blood pumping!
