Why This Event Was Organized
India faces a chronic shortage of blood — demand outstrips supply by over 10% annually, and blood banks across Mumbai regularly run out during emergencies. The monsoon season (July-September) sees a spike in dengue, malaria, and accident cases, making blood availability critical. This drive was organized to bridge that gap. Our goal is to collect 500+ units in a single day, creating a reserve that hospitals can draw from for the next several weeks. We also aim to build a registry of regular donors who can be contacted during emergencies.
