Chamber of Commerce members – did you know…71% of Canadians state they would purchase or use the services of a company supporting the blood program.  (Ipsos Reid)

This year, show the Durham region your company cares by sharing your health and vitality through blood donation.  Start your commitment to save lives by making blood donation part of your company holiday gift plan. Foster life-saving goodwill among employees when you give blood together as a Canadian Blood Services’ Partners for Life team. Canadian Blood Services will proudly acknowledge your dedication on our Partner’s for Life board in the Oshawa permanent blood donor clinic.

Your organization has the power to save lives.

Especially at this time of year, people are often looking for a meaningful way to give back to their community, family or friends.

Did you know that a single donation of blood can save three lives? Donating blood offers your company a unique way to have a direct impact on up to three people’s lives, whether it’s here in our community or on the other side of the country. Now if a single donor can save lives, just imagine what your company could achieve if all employees donated together.

It’s a simple fact. When you join the nationwide Partners for Life program, you can donate blood as a team and save more lives. Your team can work together to achieve the number of units of blood donations your team members pledge per year.

Blood donations differ from financial ones, because they directly help patients being treated for cancer, during surgery, or after serious accidents. Become a Partners for Life organization today. Canadian Blood Services will provide you all the tools your group needs to reach your lifesaving goal.

Your organization has a unique opportunity at our New Oshawa Blood Donor Clinic
