A blood donor card against which one is entitled to an equal amount of blood in case of any medical emergency and refreshments were given by Pluss staff to all the donors. Volunteers were also presented with giveaways like campaign merchandises like T-shirts and coffee mugs in gratitude for being a part of the initiative.

This gives you an inkling of how many lives can be saved through such ventures!”
