Salman Khan extends support to blood donation camp on Independence Day

Bollywood actor Salman Khan has pledged his support to Go India Foundation’s initiative of organising a blood donation camp in Pune on August 15. The foundation aims to collect 63,000 bottles of blood on the 63rd Independence Day.

According to a press note issued by the foundation, members of the Pune chapter of the organisation had met Salman at his Mumbai residence last Sunday and sought help for the cause. The actor not only agreed to lend a helping hand by endorsing the campaign, but also launched the donor T-shirts.

President of Go India Foundation’s Maharashtra chapter Mayuresh Phatak, Maharashtra Secretary Sarang Patharkar and Vikram Patil, president of the Pune chapter Jayraj Landage along with the chairperson of the organisation from Delhi Alka Lamba had met Salman.

“A nationwide blood donation drive will be held on August 15 over 250 districts. Our target is to provide India 100% safe voluntary blood, so that the need of replacement donation never arises,” said Lamba.

In Pune, blood donation camps will be held at SP College, Mahatma Phule Museum on Ghole Road, Bharati Vidyapeeth, MIT College at Kothrud and Azam Campus.
