#BeAHero #DonateBlood campaign by Rotaract Club of Chandigarh Shivalik and RID3080
More than 500 people of all age groups created a Human chain to spread awareness regarding blood donation
With the aim of increasing awareness about voluntary blood donation, Rotaract Club of Chandigarh Shivalik, organised a Blood donation awareness drive on 1st October 2019 that is national voluntary blood donation day. They very creatively, under the campaign #BeAHero #DonateBlood, invited and gathered more than 500 people to join hands to work for this very noble cause and created human chain at Janmarg starting from roundabout of Sector 16-17 (Stadium Chowk) to raise awareness regarding blood donation.
The event started with a human chain to the routes of Jan Marg, Sec-16, Chandigarh to grab the attention of the morning crowd towards importance of voluntary blood donation and how such a selfless act can make a difference in the lives of so many people across. This initiative became a grand success as it witnessed a participation of more than 500 people and was able to make thousands of people aware.
In his address, Shashank Kaushik, President of Rotaract Club of Chandigarh Shivalik, sensitised Rotaractors and people about blood donation and explained about its benefits to the donors.
He said, “There are people in need of blood transfusions every day in hospitals. It can be our friends, acquaintances, coworkers, or it might even be us. Without blood donors, we cannot help them. Donating 450 ml of blood will save someone’s life and make the donor a proud real-life hero. Let’s all be heroes and donate blood”
This awareness drive was followed by a Blood Donation camp at Rotary blood bank, Sector-37, Chandigarh where Rotaractors and people donated blood and gave in their contributions to save lives.
The event was a culmination of efforts and enthusiasm of the people that Rotract Club of Chandigarh Shivalik was able to pull of such a great event. Rotaractors from all of tri-city were a part of the human chain. Sandwiches and juice was distributed to all the participants and waste collected and disposed of properly after the event.
