The act of donating blood is a selfless, life-saving gesture that significantly impacts the lives of those in need. On June 8th, the FBM Foundation held the "A Drop of Hope" solidarity action at One Corporate Centre Building, Pasig City. This initiative aimed to celebrate World Blood Donor Day observed globally on June 14th, and inspire individuals to contribute to this vital cause.

This global campaign completes 20 years of blood giving, acknowledging the contributions of voluntary blood donors. Given the rising need for blood donations in the region, the FBM Foundation promptly responded with this thoughtful activity.
