Blood Buzz Newsletter – September 2025
Dear Donor,
Spring has officially arrived, and with it comes a fresh sense of energy and renewal. Just as the season brings new life all around us, so too does every single donation — each one carrying the promise of hope for someone in need.
In this edition of Blood Buzz, we’re excited to share stories that highlight the incredible difference you make. You’ll meet Siphokazi, whose journey is a powerful reminder of how your donation changes lives. You’ll read about the inspiring women of WCBS who continue to shape our story, and you’ll get practical tips in our Post-Donation Playbook to make your next donation even smoother.
We’ll also shine a light on the Week of Warriors campaign, which showed how the spirit of giving is alive and well among the youth, and share how our donors went the extra mile for Hannah’s Place of Safety. And because giving comes in many forms, you’ll also see how something as simple as a recliner chair can bring comfort to patients at Tygerberg Hospital.
This season is all about growth, new beginnings, and generosity — values that lie at the very heart of blood donation. Thank you for being part of this remarkable community of givers and for continuing to share the gift of life.
Enjoy the read, and remember: giving is in our blood.
Stay remarkable, till next time,
Marike Carli
