Raewyn made her 150th donation today!
To mark this incredible milestone, she chose the beautiful Cape Reinga print as her milestone gift.
A huge thank you to Raewyn - and to all our regular BOP donors who generously make time to donate blood and plasma. Your commitment saves lives. 🩸
We celebrate these milestones with gifts of appreciation, not just from us, but also on behalf of the many recipients whose lives have been changed thanks to your donations.

Do you have the universal blood type flowing through your body?
Due to higher demand for O- blood from hospitals lately, we'd love to see more O negative donors book in to donate blood.
If you're feeling well, are eligible and have a bit of spare time - book an appointment:

🩸Not an O- donor? We welcome donors of all blood types to book in to save lives.
Next week in Tauranga, we still need 45 more blood appointments and 87 plasma appointments filled to help meet demand!
🩸Don't know your blood type? Donating blood or plasma is a great way to find out and make a difference at the same time!
