“Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng blood donors, volunteers, at partner organizations na tumulong upang maging matagumpay ang activity na ito,” said Joseline Fernandez, Administrator of the Philippine Red Cross Zamboanga. “We would also like to thank Maxim riders for their willingness to donate blood and help save lives.”
World Blood Donor Day is observed annually on June 14 to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products and to recognize voluntary, unpaid blood donors for their life-saving contributions. Through initiatives like these, Maxim continues to support community welfare programs that create a positive impact beyond transportation and delivery services.
