Race To Save A LifeWhen City Harvest Community Services Association holds a blood donation drive, donors can expect more than the usual needle and passing of time. From Aug. 7 to 8, CHCSA organized their 7th blood donation drive for 2010, with the theme—A Race For Life-Saving. Staff and volunteers decorated The Riverwalk to resemble a race car competition, complete with race tracks, pit stops and the checkered flag.

After the registration process, donors were provided with remote-controlled cars and tracks to while their time as they waited to give blood. There was an Xbox 360 console which donors took turns to have a go at—providing a more than enjoyable way to save lives through giving blood.

A total of 220 blood bags were collected over the weekend drive.

Jaron Tan, a 20-year-old National Serviceman and a first-time donor, applauded the organizers for their innovation and creativity. Nervous as a first-timer, he expressed his appreciation of how he was made to feel at ease despite his nervousness.
