HPFFA members donated blood during July & August as part of the Canadian Blood Services national campaign called SIRENS for LIFE. This campaign involves first responders in municipalities across the country participating in a friendly competition to see who can recruit the most blood donors in July and August. Check out the HPFFA Sirens for Life video here!
The results are in:
HAMILTON FIRE: 146 donors
HAMILTON POLICE: 13 donors
HAMILTON PARAMEDICS: 12 donors
*While only 4% of elibigible Canadians donate blood, the HPFFA was able to recruit an incredible 33% of their membership to donate during this campaign!
In addition, the HPFFA hosted an inter-Platoon challenge amongst the shifts. For the 3rd straight year, C Platoon recruited the most donors and won the grand prize!
C PLATOON: 66 donors
A PLATOON : 42 donors
B PLATOON: 19 donors
D PLATOON: 14 donors
Day Shift: 1 donor
*Unaccounted: 4 donors
