Blood Donation at the 25th International Railway Model Convention

The Tokyo Red Cross Blood Center is taking a significant step during the upcoming 25th International Railway Model Convention by organizing its first-ever blood donation campaign. This event will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from August 21 to 23, making it a landmark occasion for both the convention and blood donation initiatives.

A Special Occasion with Meaning

August 21 is particularly noteworthy as it commemorates 'Blood Donation Day' in Japan. This day marks the government's historic decision in 1964 to establish a stable system for securing blood products through voluntary donations. To celebrate the contributions of donors during this three-day event, attendees will receive special stickers as a token of appreciation.
