It is often said that, “People need to appreciate how precious life is”. And what could be a more precious gift to give in life than your own blood? After the success of its first blood drive with Donner Sang Compter (DSC) earlier this year, Bank Audi organized a second campaign on November 1st, 2016, in partnership with the Lebanese Red Cross. The blood drive took place in the Plaza Courtyard, where 47 generous employees voluntarily took part in the event. As a result, 38 units of blood were donated; to put the matter into perspective, that equals 114 lives saved.
A week after the initiative, successful donors received a card that allows them to receive 1 unit of blood should they need it, for themselves, a friend, or a relative.
The initiative aimed to raise awareness about the importance of donating, as well as to support this cause and sustain the Bank’s commitment to the community.
Many people wouldn’t be alive today if it wasn’t for blood donors. So remember, you don’t have to be a doctor to be a hero; you can donate blood and save lives.
