      🦇The Irish gave the world Halloween, now we’r 🦇The Irish gave the world Halloween, now we’re giving blood!🦇
Earlier this year, we launched our blood donation campaign, 100 people joined our Partners for Life team and 96 rolled up their sleeves to give blood.
Now, Irish in BC and @icccvan are coming together to keep that momentum going by building an Irish Community Blood Drive that gives back to our city and helps the whole community.
Less than 2% of eligible Canadians donate, so every drop matters. Help us to continue making a difference!
Sign up with Canadian Blood Services, then link your profile to the Irish in BC Partners for Life team. See the link in our bio for details.
