Rotary District 3450’s “Give Blood, Feel Alive 2026” Touches Hearts and Strengthens Hong Kong’s Lifeline

On 22 March 2026, Rotary International District 3450 and the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups successfully hosted “Give Blood, Feel Alive – Wellness &Blood Donation 2026”at the HKFYG Wellness PLUS Complex in Sham Shui Po. Guided by this year’s district theme — “Body, Soul and Spirit”— the initiative brought together community leaders, healthcare professionals and members of the public in a meaningful demonstration of compassion in action.

The event was officiated by Dr. David LAM Tzit-yuen, Legislative Council Member; Mr. CHEN Zetao, Deputy Director of the Coordination Department of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the HKSAR; and Dr. KONG Shun Yin, Associate Consultant of the Blood Collection &Donor Recruitment Department, Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service.

Their presence highlighted the strong cross-sector collaboration supporting Hong Kong’s public health efforts.

In recognition of Rotary’s long-standing commitment to blood donation advocacy, the Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service presented the Elite Partnership Award to Rotary International District 3450, affirming the district’s sustained contribution to safeguarding the city’s blood supply.

The campaign received an encouraging response from the community. Nearly 200 people registered in advance, reflecting growing public awareness of the importance of regular blood donation. On the day of the event, 108 participants attended, including 51 Rotarians and Rotaractors and 57 members of the public.

District Governor Cassy Cheng marked a personal milestone by making her first-ever blood donation, leading by example and embodying Rotary’s spirit of “Service Above Self.”

By the end of the session, 93 participants successfully donated blood, achieving an impressive over 86% success rate. Each unit collected carries the potential to save multiple lives, offering renewed hope to patients and families across Hong Kong.

Since the beginning of the current Rotary Year, 419 individuals have registered for District 3450’s blood donation campaigns, with 248 successful donations recorded to date — a testament to Rotary’s growing impact in promoting a stable and sustainable blood supply for the community.

Beyond blood donation, the event also embraced the district’s theme of “Body, Soul and Spirit” through a series of wellness workshops, including yoga, singing bowl therapy and aromatherapy.

More than 50 Rotarians and community members participated in these workshops, experiencing moments of mindfulness, balance and connection. By integrating wellness education with civic action, Rotary reinforced the message that caring for one’s own health empowers individuals to serve others more effectively.

The success of the event was made possible through the dedicated support of 12 sponsor Rotary clubs, whose commitment, volunteer service and encouragement mobilized participants and amplified the campaign’s outreach. Their collective effort exemplifies the strength of Rotary fellowship and the power of united action in serving the community.

Through “Give Blood, Feel Alive 2026,”Rotary International District 3450 once again demonstrated how leadership, partnership and collective goodwill can translate into tangible community impact — touching hearts, strengthening resilience and truly becoming a lifeline for Hong Kong.
