Sometimes, making a difference begins with something as simple as giving.

Every drop of blood you donate carries the possibility of helping someone through an emergency, supporting a patient in need, and giving a family more time with someone they love. What may take only a few minutes of your day can become a lifeline for another.

In partnership with the Sub-National Blood Center for Mindanao and CHEDRO XI, LPU Davao calls on students, faculty, staff, and members of the community to come forward and give the gift that only another person can provide.

Your blood could be someone’s chance to live.
