This event was carried out as part of the ANTLERS BUSINESS CLUB's philosophy and sponsorship activities (*). With the cooperation of the Ibaraki Red Cross Blood Center, a bloodmobile was set up in the rotary in front of the Kashima Sports Center, next to Kashima Stadium. The aim was to save many precious lives by conducting blood donations in conjunction with Antlers' home games, providing a solution to the difficult situation of securing blood due to the impact of the new coronavirus.
On the day of the event, registration started at 10 AM, four hours before kickoff, and many people attended.
At the campaign booth next to the bloodmobile, we gave out Antlers eco-bags to those who downloaded the blood donation card app "Love Blood App" and showed us the screen after making their next blood donation reservation. Many people participated in this as well, and cooperated by making their next blood donation reservation.
Those who donated blood received an eco-bag with the "ANTLERS BUSINESS CLUB" logo, specially produced for the "Blood Drive Support Project," and also participated in a lottery. Winners received a 22 NIKE replica uniform (1ST) signed by a player.
The goodwill (blood donations) of approximately 50 people gathered at Kashima Stadium on the day corresponds to approximately 20-25% of the blood delivered to medical institutions in Ibaraki Prefecture in one day. This blood will be used to help approximately 3,000 patients suffering from diseases such as cancer and leukemia, or facing life-threatening situations due to massive bleeding from traffic accidents or childbirth.
The ANTLERS BUSINESS CLUB will continue to conduct activities aimed at contributing to the community and society.
