To our CPs and fellow IPSF colleagues,

On behalf of the Internaonal Pharmaceucal Students

Federaon (IPSF)s humanitarian subcommiee, I am

wring to invite you and your associaon to join us for

this years Vampire Cup project, an internaonal blood

donaon drive.

Donang blood is a very important acon that canmake a large impact in a community. Each unit of blood

can help save up to three lives.

The IPSFs humanitarian subcommiee recognizes how

blood donaon is a lifesaving outreach that can be

easily performed by many members of the community,

but is oen under recognized. In an eort to encourage

blood donaon, IPSF will be hosng our rst annualInternaonal Vampire Cup, blood donaon drive.

We are inving all associaons to join us in this

worthwhile internaonal project. We welcome

pharmacy associaons to join in all capacies and

encourage you to consider running your own blood

donaon drive as this is a simple project that can

benet many people.

In order to beer support your blood donaon

drive, our humanitarian subcommiee has prepared

a campaign kit, which will hopefully help you in the

planning of your own Vampire Cup.

Should you have any further quesons or concerns,

please do not hesitate to email us at publichealth@

Kind regards,

SharonLeun
