Baseball Victoria is proud to be part of the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood Teams Program, which saves thousands of lives nationwide through blood and plasma donations every year.
When we joined Lifeblood Teams earlier this year, we shared our goal of reaching 100 donations in 2020. Well, thanks to the generous support of the Victorian baseball community, we have surpassed our goal and now saved 102 lives so far. This is great news, but there is still more work to be done, and Lifeblood urgently needs 16,000 additional people to give blood or plasma in the next two weeks. Supplies of Australia’s two most common blood types, O+ and A+, are at risk with less than two day’s supply. All blood types are need every day, and now is a great time to get involved and make a lifechanging difference.
Plus, Lifeblood has teamed up with six Australian artists to offer a series of limited-edition bandages for donors, and the True Colours campaign will run through the end of November.
