The Rotary Club of Georgetown is proud to announce its upcoming blood drive event, which will take place at State House, the President’s official residence. We invite the entire community to join us in this life-saving endeavor.

Event Details: Date: September 30, 2023 Time: 9am-3pm Location: Baridi Benab, State House, Main Street, Georgetown Hosted by: Rotary Club of Georgetown.

The Rotary Club of Georgetown has a long history of serving our community, and we are thrilled to partner with the State House to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need. Blood donation is a simple yet incredibly powerful way to give back and support our local hospitals and healthcare systems. We have partnered with the Rotaract Club of Georgetown and Rotaract Club of University of Guyana.  Blood pressure and blood sugar testing will also be available.

Why Donate Blood? Donating blood is a noble act that can save lives. Every drop of blood has the potential to make a difference for someone in a medical crisis. Your donation can help accident victims, surgical patients, cancer patients, and those with chronic illnesses. By participating in our blood drive, you are directly contributing to the well-being of your fellow community members.

What to Expect: • A safe and welcoming environment at the State House. • Professional and trained medical staff to assist you throughout the donation process. • Strict adherence to all health and safety protocols to ensure a COVID-19 safe environment. • Refreshments and snacks for all donors as a token of our appreciation for their generosity.

1. Arrive at the State House on the designated date and time.
2. Bring a valid ID.
3. Complete a brief health screening.
4. Donate blood and help save lives!

“We are excited to host this blood drive at the State House and encourage everyone to join us in this lifesaving effort,” said Devindra Kissoon, President of the Rotary Club of Georgetown. “Your donation will make a real difference in the lives of individuals in our community who depend on blood transfusions for their health and well-being.”

The Rotary Club of Georgetown is committed to making a positive impact, and we invite you to be part of this meaningful initiative. Your support can help ensure that local hospitals have an adequate blood supply to meet the needs of patients.
