HELLO PARTICIPANTS,

Singapore Management University’s (SMU) Red Cross Chapter is organising a public blood donation drive in the name of Singapore Red Cross held on the 10th to 12th of December 2010.

Objective:
Help ensure an adequate supply of blood for patients during the Christmas period. Through our drive, members of public are encouraged to start or continue donating blood, leading to a cumulative effect where more people will join us in this heroic and eventful act of blood donation.

Aim:
Reach out to a population of 10,000 for our event and target an approximate number of 800 donors this year.

This will be a meaningful event held in the city where we aim to reach out to individuals aged 18- 40 from all walks of life and tap on the weekend crowd especially during the Christmas season.

There are 3 main events that volunteers need to attend:

Date: 30 Nov (Tentatively)

2. Awareness drive
