World Blood Donor Day 2010 - New Blood for Life

World Blood Donor Day is an international event that the NZ Blood Service is celebrating across the country on Monday 14 June. It is an opportunity to thank life-saving blood donors, but also an important chance to encourage more people to become donors. This year’s theme is New Blood for Life, reflecting the need for more new donors to come forward and be regular donors throughout their life. We are targeting 18-30 year olds (‘Gen Y’) in particular.

We're sharpening our fangs...

We are out for blood, this time with the help of some of the world’s most popular vampires. NZBS has teamed up with Hachette New Zealand, publishers of Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels, and PRIME, the broadcaster of HBO’s critically-acclaimed True Blood television series starring Anna Paquin, which is based on the novels.
