CPA Alberta Give Blood - Blood Drive 2025

Donating blood is a simple yet profound act of kindness that can make a significant difference in someone's life.

Together with Canadian Blood Services, CPA Alberta is challenging all Alberta CPAs to come together and reach a collective goal of donating 100 units of blood by November 30.

Simply sign up with Canadian Blood Services using the CPA Alberta challenge ID number CHAR0090572.
