The Sydney Swans have donated their red.
On Friday 11 April, The Bloods ran onto Adelaide Oval in a special white Gather Round guernsey.
Our partners, the Sydney Swans, have joined forces with us to raise awareness of the need for more blood donors during the colder months.
Bring back the red and donate blood this footy season.
Footy takes blood, sweat and tears.
Saving lives just takes blood.
Footy season is donation season
Colder weather means more donors can’t give because of colds and flu.
33,000 donations needed weekly
Whether your team wins or loses; rain, hail or shine.
Takes much less time than a game
Giving blood only takes an hour or less. And the pies are free.
