The Okanagan Sun Football Club has partnered with Canadian Blood Services to help ensure lifesaving blood products are available to hospital patients in need this summer.
The Okanagan Sun Football Club will help support the community by adopting the Kelowna blood donor clinic on Monday, August 7. The group has also committed to recruiting new donors and filling appointments to help meet clinic collections.
“As a community run, and community driven organization, we are in great debt to those around us,” says Ben Macauley, head coach of the Okanagan Sun Football Club.
“By adopting the Kelowna clinic for a day, we have a chance to give back to a community that supports us year round, on and off the field. On a personal level, we can each draw personal connections to family and friends who have benefited from the work of the Canadian Blood Services. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve our community.”
You can take part by making an appointment to give life at the Kelowna blood donor clinic from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on August 7. To discover all the ways you can help and to book your appointment, visit blood.ca.
