According to the Taiwan Blood Services Foundation’s 2019 latest report, the younger generations in general lack the awareness for blood donation, with the number of blood donations decreasing by more than a half in the last 20 years. Compounding with the increasing blood demand from the aging population and medical use, blood banks may run into blood shortages in the near future. Yuanta FHC continues its efforts in charity blood drives and has organized Yuanta Blood Donation Day activities for nine consecutive years. With the support of Yuanta employees and the general public blood donors, a total of 946 bags of blood was contributed in the recent blood drive. The National Police Agency was also invited to join in the charity lineup, taking the opportunity to advocate 165 fraud prevention information and increasing the effects of charity works with police and civilians working together. Yuanta Blood Donation Day is held three times a year, and participation in this event has become one of the Group’s key activity.

Through Yuanta’s Facebook fan pages “Yuanta GoodNews” and “Yuanta Unlimited Love”, Yuanta employees and the general public are notified and encouraged to participate in the blood drive. With the enthusiasm of Yuanta employees and the Group’s efforts, the number of blood donors participating in the event and the amount of blood accumulated are on the rise from year to year. Yuanta cooperates with Taipei Blood Center on a long term basis in organizing the blood drives and in exercising the concept of “Donate Blood, Save a Life” and has been recognized as an outstanding organization for blood donation for four consecutive years. This time Yuanta also partnered up with National Policy Agency’s “165 Anti-Fraud” fan page on Facebook for the Yuanta Blood Donation Day activities in holding the “Hot-blooded against fraud together on the same front” social media activity with the participants having a chance to receive a complimentary gift. The details of the activity can be found on“Yuanta Unlimited Love” fan page on Facebook. In addition, the National Police Agency also had booth set up at the event site to advocate fraud awareness and prevention to the attendees, reminding them to always keep alert to avoid being tricked. Incorporating anti-fraud activities into charity blood drive deepen the level of community engagement in the event. Yuanta managers and staffs participated actively in the blood drive, responding to charity work by taking actions. One management officer participates in marathon races and hiking to keep fit and healthy and donates blood regularly. This is the fifty-first time he donated blood. He encourages staff to do good by rolling up their sleeves to donate blood, and the habit can be developed and is good for your metabolism. One employee exercised and worked out especially for the blood donation activity and made sure there was enough sleep the night before to ensure successful blood donation, contributing to help more people.
