The Australian Red Cross Blood Service is celebrating 80 years of blood collections this year and the ‘Year of the Blood Donor’.
 
Just over half a million Australians are blood donors, but 160,000 more new donors are needed to keep stocks level, particularly over winter.
 
The Collingwood Football Club is a strong advocate for the Australian Red Cross Blood Service and is in support of ‘The Year of the Blood Donor’.
 
Come down and meet Billy Blood Drop at Gate 1 during Round 14 this Friday night, and pledge to give blood.
 
Only 1 in 30 people donate blood in Australia
 
1 in 3 will need blood at some stage in their lives
 
Do something special this year and give blood.
