Heavenly Heroes Blood donation campaign Christmas & New Year Holiday period
Dec 2007 - Jan 2008
The Australian Red Cross Blood Service requires around 4000 units of blood per day to keep Australia's blood stocks at a safe and efficient level. One unit of blood can save three lives. At present in Australia, 80% of people will need blood products at some point in their loves, but only 3% donate blood.
The Australian Red Cross Blood Service loses approximately 1000 donations around any public holiday. The ARCBS must make up the 4000 donations lost, over the surrounding weeks to ensure we have enough blood. This means we need 4000 extra donations, and you can help!
Heavenly Heroes describes the many donors belonging to Christian groups throughout Victoria, who are committed to donating much needed blood. Heavenly Heroes runs every year at Easter and Christmas time -the two most significant dates on the Christian calendar. Roll up your sleeve and save lives!
Please phone 13 14 95 to book a time at Southbank Donor Centre. Cnr Kavanagh and Balston Streets.
