Blood donation slogans
World Blood Donor Day is observed on 14 June. These slogans are for camp banners, college drives and thank you posts for donors. Whether a person can donate is decided by the doctor at the camp.
English
Give blood. Give someone another birthday.
A few minutes for you. A lifetime for someone.
You cannot make blood in a factory. Only people can give it.
Be a hero without a cape. Donate blood.
Your blood type is somebody's hope.
Roll up a sleeve. Save a life.
The gift costs nothing and means everything.
Somebody's mother is waiting for a stranger like you.
Donate today. A family will thank you forever.
A stranger is waiting for your twenty minutes.
You will not miss it. Someone cannot live without it.
First time? We will hold your hand.
Thank you, donor. Somebody's mother is going home.
Be the reason a family breathes easy tonight.
हिन्दी
रक्तदान कीजिए, किसी को जीवनदान दीजिए।
आपका थोड़ा सा समय, किसी की पूरी ज़िंदगी।
खून का रिश्ता बनाइए, रक्तदान करके दिखाइए।
रक्त का कोई कारखाना नहीं, इंसान ही इंसान के काम आता है।
आज आप दीजिए, कल कोई आपके अपनों को देगा।
एक यूनिट रक्त, एक परिवार की मुस्कान।
एक अनजान आपका इंतज़ार कर रहा है।
पहली बार है? घबराइए मत, हम साथ हैं।
धन्यवाद रक्तदाता, आज किसी का घर बच गया।
रक्तदान करके देखो, अच्छा लगता है।
ਪੰਜਾਬੀ
ਖ਼ੂਨ ਦਾਨ ਕਰੋ, ਕਿਸੇ ਦੀ ਜਾਨ ਬਚਾਓ।
ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਖ਼ੂਨ, ਕਿਸੇ ਦੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ।
ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਵੀਹ ਮਿੰਟ, ਕਿਸੇ ਦੀ ਸਾਰੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ।
ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਖ਼ੂਨਦਾਨੀ ਵੀਰੋ ਭੈਣੋ, ਅੱਜ ਕਿਸੇ ਦਾ ਘਰ ਵੱਸਦਾ ਰਹਿ ਗਿਆ।
In common use (not written by us)
Tears cannot save a life. Blood can.
रक्तदान, महादान।
ਖ਼ੂਨਦਾਨ, ਮਹਾਂਦਾਨ।
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
Where these slogans are used
Camp banners, college and office drives, hospital blood bank walls, social media invitations and thank you cards for donors. A good camp uses three kinds of line: one to invite people, one to reassure first-time donors at the registration desk, and one to thank them at the refreshment table.
Write your own
People donate when they can picture the person who receives. So the strongest slogans are about the stranger: a mother, a child, an accident victim, someone's father on an operation table. Speak of the gift, not of duty. And thank loudly. A donor who feels appreciated returns, and brings a friend.
- English pairs: give and live, share and care, donor and honour, blood and bud, hero and zero.
- Hindi pairs: रक्तदान and महादान, दान and जान, ख़ून and सुकून, जीवन and अर्पण.
- Punjabi pairs: ਖ਼ੂਨਦਾਨ and ਮਹਾਦਾਨ, ਦਾਨ and ਜਾਨ, ਸੇਵਾ and ਮੇਵਾ.
Keep medical details off the slogan
Who can donate, how often and how much is decided by the doctor at the camp under the official rules. Do not print ages, weights, gaps between donations or health benefits on a poster from memory. Print what you know for certain: the date, time, place, organiser and a contact number. Tell people to eat a meal and bring an identity card only if the blood bank organising the camp has asked for that.
What to avoid
- Pressure. Nobody should be embarrassed for not donating. Many people are not able to.
- Any hint of payment or reward. Donation is voluntary.
Using these slogans
- On a camp banner, add the date, time, place and a contact number below the slogan.
