Employees donate blood to Philippine Red Cross

A total of 71 blood bags were collected during the grand bloodletting day conducted by Dedon, a furniture manufacturing company, in partnership with Philippine Red Cross on June 14 at their plant in barangay Canduman, Mandaue City.

At least 50 employees braved the needles to save other’s lives.

Cheryl Fuentes, donor recruitment officer of Red Cross, thanked Dedon for spearheading the activity. She also acknowledged the employees as the main contributors of their blood donation cause.

She said donating blood is to share a gift of life to the indigent people who cannot afford to buy blood.

“This is a life saving program,” she said, referring to the grand bloodletting day, which Dedon has been holding every year since 2010.
