We are pleased to announce that the "14th ANTLERS BUSINESS CLUB Blood Donation Support Project" will be held at the rotary in front of Kashima Sports Center during the Meiji Yasuda J1 Hyakunen Koso League Regional League Round EAST Section 15 match against Mito HollyHock on Wednesday, May 6 (holiday).
This event is held with the cooperation of the Ibaraki Red Cross Blood Center as part of the philosophy sponsorship activities (*) undertaken with the member companies of the ANTLERS BUSINESS CLUB. In recent years, due to Japan's declining birthrate and aging population, the number of people eligible for blood donation has continued to decrease. To save precious lives, a blood donation bus will be operated on the day of the Mito HollyHock match.
As a recovery food, all participants who cooperate with blood donation will receive "freshly baked sweet potatoes" from Rapoppo Farm. The vitamin C contained in sweet potatoes helps with iron absorption, making them perfect for nutritional replenishment after blood donation!
Furthermore, there's a double chance to win a "towel scarf" for 3 lucky winners chosen by lottery.
