Sirens for Life
Every year during July and August, Canadian Blood Services hosts a national campaign in which fire fighters, police and paramedics in municipalities across the Country participate in a friendly competition to see who can recruit the most donors.
You can help by donating for your favourite first responder.
Call 1-888-2-DONATE to make an appointment or visit www.blood.ca
The 2021 Sirens for Life blood donor campaign runs from June 24 to August 30. To support the HPFFA team, donors simply need to register on the HAMILTON FIRE team when registering on the phone, blood.ca or on the blood donor app.
All donors who support the HAMILTON FIRE team during Sirens for Life 2021 will be entered into a raffle for gift cards to local Hamilton businesses.
Please check out the incredible SIRENS for LIFE story to the right about Brother Wagner and his father, Darcy. You can click here for the complete details.
