Looking for lifesavers! Donate blood and enter the prize draw

One blood donation can help up to three patients – and even save a life. Blood donors have the chance to win a stylish Hengenpelastaja (lifesaver) T-shirt. Daily prize draws will be held at Blood Service locations across Finland from 8 September to 31 December 2025.

Why should I donate blood?

Donating blood is a concrete and easy way to help patients. And it always feels good! Blood products are given to premature babies, cancer patients and accident victims, among others.

Every year, more than 20,000 new blood donors are needed to ensure a sufficient and diverse donor base in Finland – one that can support patient care now and in the future.

First-time donors will receive a Lifesaver bag!
