Partners for Life
Why join Partners for Life?
A single blood donation can make a lifesaving difference to someone in need.
Imagine the impact your organization can have when people work together as a team to support Canada’s Lifeline. Partners for Life member organizations are doing more than just committing to raising awareness and recruiting new donors. Their team’s efforts have a direct impact on patients in Canada and the families who love them.
Four ways to join:
Group donation
Consider bringing your friends, family or colleagues together for a group donation at one of our donor centres or mobile donation events in your community. By joining the Partners for Life program you can reserve a block of appointments online and invite your team to sign up. In some regions, arrangements can be made for our Lifebus to transport your group to and from our donor centre on the day of your group donation event.
Adoption
Boost your community presence by adopting a Canadian Blood Services donor centre. Engage your whole team in promotional and recruitment activities to help meet your goal of filling the majority of appointment slots at a donation event.
Awareness / social media
Use various digital marketing platforms to:
- inspire your community
- motivate people to act
- celebrate their volunteerism when they become blood, plasma, stem cell or organ donors
Pledge
Annually, your team can rally to set a donation pledge to donate blood, plasma, platelets or stem cells. As part of the Partners for Life program, you can track your team’s progress and communicate with your members. We encourage all organizations and community groups, no matter the size, to set a pledge and celebrate your impact
