Rotary Clubs from all over Mumbai and neighbouring Thane District (comprising of Rotary Dist.3140) along with its Youth Wing, The Rotaract Clubs, launched a massive Blood Donation Drive in Mumbai on 1st July, 2015 which is celebrated as Doctors' Day. 1st July also happens to be the start of new Rotary Year.
The campaign "Drop of Blood" swelled ocean of blood with the Rotary and Rotaract Clubs together collecting over 4400 bottles of blood in a single day. Blood Donation camps in association with several Blood Banks were organized at suburban railway stations, colleges and other prominent public places.
Rotary Club of Bombay West (RCBW) too participated in this project by holding a Blood Donation Camp at Sathaye College, Vile Parle East in partnership with Rotary Club of Parleshwar, Rotaract Clubs of Sathaye College and Parleshwar, Inner Wheel Club of Bombay West and Rotary DG Goenka Blood Bank, Andheri. Within a matter of few hours, 185 bottles of blood were collected by the team which incidentally was the highest number of bottles collected at any centre on that day. Kudos to the enthusiastic teams led by President Shirish Rege of Bombay West Rotary and President Anand Ramnani of Parleshwar Rotary for this feat which was appreciated by District Governor Subhash Kulkarni who also visited the centre along with Past District Governors Sajjan Goenka, Bansi Dhurandhar and other District dignitaries.
