If you want blood (you got it!) - The Advertising Challenge Results
The Advertising Challenge Blood Drive was a success and PHD played a big part! The winners of the Advertising Challenge are:
Highest Number of Donations (17) = Bensimon Byrne
Highest Percentage of Employees Donating (26%) = Panic and Bob
In all, 107 donations were collected which means the lives of 321 people were saved! People like Lily Palmer, at left, who depends on the generosity of blood donors. Canadian Blood Services sent a big "Thank You!" to all the companies who came out in support of the Advertising Challenge. They were thrilled by the number of companies that took part, the youthfulness of the donors and the number of 1st time donors!
The Agencies that took part are: Bensimon Byrne, OMD, Due North, Stealing Time, Steam Films, Soft Citizen, Vapor Music, Grip, Edelman Public Relations, Y & R, Creative Niche, Daggerwing, Centennial College, Rogers Media, New Marketing, Panic and Bob, Extreme Group, BBDO, Creative Niche, Doug Agency & PHD
Canadian Blood Services hopes that many of us will continue to donate blood this year, either individually or as a group. Because the need for blood never takes a holiday when the majority of people do, blood is particularly in need during July, August and December.
For more information, visit Canadian Blood Services website: Canadian Blood Services. They have the screening quiz on the website so you can see if you qualify as a donor. (There are several restrictions on travel - basically, if you ever thought about going to England, have family from the UK or like Kate Winslet movies, you cannot give blood. In all seriousness, most people can give, but check the restrictions.)
Couldn’t give blood? Feel free to register for the PARTNERS FOR LIFE program, which puts you in a database in case you ever are a match for bone marrow transplants. All it takes is swabbing your mouth and sending it away. You may never get called, but you could save a life!
