Each year, Youth Week Calgary partners with Canadian Blood Services (CBS) for YOUNG BLOODS WEEK, which happens during Youth Week (April 24 – May 2, 2010).
During Young Bloods Week, CBS encourages young people (17+) around Calgary to donate their blood to those who need it. Did you know that just by donated a pint of blood, you can save the lives of three people?
Check out the experience of Helen, one of our Youth Week steering committee members, as she donates blood for the first time.
