The World Blood Donor Day Challenge 2020
~ The 2020 and 2021 challenge have been canceled due to Covid.
Hope to see you here in 2022 ~
The World Blood Donor Day event serves to thank voluntary, unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood and also to raise awareness of the need for regular blood donations to ensure that all individuals and communities have access to affordable and timely supplies of safe and quality-assured blood and blood products, as an integral part of universal health coverage and a key component of effective health systems.
We understand that there are some of you who cannot donate blood and, for this reason, we apologize that you cannot personally participate in this challenge but you can suggest someone else does.
We ask that those who can, do.
For your good deed, enter our drawing, along with your $5 donation, for a chance to win dinner for two, at a eatery of your choice, up to a $100 value.
You served, now it's your turn to be served.
A minimum of 20 participants is required; if minimum is not reached, donations will be refunded and prize will not be awarded.
Donate blood anytime from May 16th through June 14th and submit pdf proof to
submit@TheJayAustinSimplyBeKindFoundation.com
by midnight.
Post on your social media platforms (twitter/facebook/instagram) that you're a blood donor using the hashtag
One winner will be selected at random.
'I could die doing what I love, but I could also die never having really lived. To me, that would have been a far greater tragedy.' - Jay Austin
Jay truly lived .. up until the very moment he was intentionally brutally murdered in a terrorist attack while cycling the globe.
Jay lost his life simply because he was an American.
