The Port Macquarie Chamber of Commerce is supporting the Australian Red Cross Blood Service this winter and encouraging all Chamber member businesses to give blood from the 8th July – 2nd September in the Business Blood Challenge.

Over 26,000 blood donations are required each week across Australia to ensure there is enough blood for those who need it. It is estimated that one in three of us will need blood at some point in our lives but currently only one in 30 people give blood

If you wish to register your business for the Challenge just complete the registration form and fax it back to Sandra Wallace, Community Relations Officer at the Port Macquarie Donor Centre on 02 6582 8119.

For more information on donating blood, visit donateblood.com.au or to make an appointment call 13 14 95.

Remember every donation makes a real difference to the lives of others, so imagine what can be achieved if all your employees donated.
