The Youth Executive Committee members & volunteers who provide their assistance for this drive were William Ang, Chee Ling, Alex, Nina, Charmine, Jeraldine, Lim Ke Hao, Tang Hon Wei, Jacqueline & Eric.

For the 3 blood donors who turn up after 5.00 pm, we really appreciate your effort to come to Tiong Bahru Community Centre despite the heavy downfall.
