Facilities Management is the professional service that supports the functionality, safety, and sustainability of buildings, grounds, infrastructure, and real estate. It is a great way for facilities management professionals and techies to celebrate a birthday by donating blood.

Blood is the most precious gift that anyone can give to another person – the gift of life. A decision to donate blood can save a life, or even several if your blood is separated into its components, Satya added.

It is a win-win for everyone. Many patients get benefitted from the birthday of a leader. It is a good way of celebrating a birthday he added

We can’t think of a better way to celebrate a birthday than by donating blood so that someone else can celebrate theirs in a similar fashion. This will help more people to come forward and donate blood voluntarily. We’ve created this Birthday Challenge so that no one should die for want of blood.

Everybody has it, everybody needs it. But not many are coming forward to donate blood.

Let people donate blood on the birthday/s of their favourite leaders so that a good amount of blood is available in blood banks. Every minute, second, someone somewhere needs blood, Satya shared
