Date: 2nd August 2014
Venue: Southport Blood Donor Centre, Ferry Rd.
Time: 9.30am
Mission: To donate blood, plasma and platelets for the Empire!!
Trooper Attendance:
RBG: TKID and username/costume
Apok 3409 Magma Helmet
Chief 7925 TB Helmet
Blueski 19866 TD Helmet
Support Crew / Guest Trooper Attendance:
Blueski's better half to hold his hand.
Details: This was to raise awareness for the Red Cross Blood Donation Centre.
At this time of year they struggle to get a steady flow of donations. Sickness and holidays sees the Blood Stocks all over Australia fall to dangerous levels.
For this group it was very cool that we got to donate one of each type of donation needed by the Blood Bank. Whole Blood, Plasma and Platelet donations are all very vital and in desperate need. These different donations help people in very different ways.
You don't have to wait for the next one of these. Roll up your sleeve and help the Red Cross anytime.
1 in 3 people need a blood transfusion but only 1 in 30 donate. Let's see if we can get the Redback Garrison to have 1 in 3 donating.

The life you help save could be someone you love.
Charity Funds Raised:
1 x Whole Blood
1 x Plasma
1 x Platelets
Injuries / Malfunctions: Each trooper received one puncture wound to their left arms. Deadly I know.
Public Incidents: Apok did take a few extra chocolates. He can't resist those Caramello Koalas!!!!
Mission Status: Success. Next we need more people to roll up their sleeves.
Photos:
All three knuckleheads together.
And the best part (other than helping saving lives) is the snacks afterwards. Milkshakes, cheese and crackers, chocolates, chips, cookies, juice!!! The list is long and delicious.
