SM Foundation and SM City Mindpro Champion Lifesaving Mission Through Blood Donation Drive

In observance of Blood Donor’s Month, SM Foundation and SM City Mindpro, in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross Zamboanga City Chapter, Western Mindanao Command, Philippine Air Force Tactical Operations Wing Western Mindanao, and the 530th Air Brigade Group, launched a two-day blood donation campaign on July 21-22, 2025 at the Cinema Lobby, Level 4 of the mall.

 

This initiative reflects SM’s unwavering commitment to nation-building through its Health and Wellness advocacy, aiming to help ensure an adequate and accessible blood supply in the city. By working closely with key military units and local health organizations, the campaign is geared towards saving lives while fostering a spirit of volunteerism and civic responsibility among Zamboangueños.

 

The bloodletting activity brings together SM workforce, affiliate and tenant employees, and uniformed personnel in a unified cause — to give the gift of life through voluntary blood donation. It also serves as a timely celebration of the National Blood Donor’s Month, honoring the silent heroes whose donations are critical to emergency care, surgeries, and treatment of diseases.

 

“We are grateful for the strong collaboration with our partners in health and public service. Through this drive, we are not only collecting blood — we are also cultivating compassion and community resilience,” said Aileen Ann Villa-Enriquez, SM City Mindpro Mall Manager.

 

SM Foundation, the social good arm of SM, continues to roll out blood donation drives across its malls nationwide as part of its corporate social responsibility thrusts.

In celebration of the 127th Anniversary of the Philippine Navy, a bloodletting activity and static display were held at SM City Mindpro, showcasing the valor and service of our modern-day heroes while promoting life-saving efforts for the community.

The event brought together members of the Philippine Navy, mallgoers, and civic-minded individuals who participated in the blood donation drive, supporting the Armed Forces of the Philippines' commitment to humanitarian assistance and community engagement. In partnership with the Philippine Red Cross, the activity aimed to boost the nation’s blood reserves and promote the importance of voluntary blood donation.

In addition to the bloodletting drive, a static and kinetic display featuring naval assets, equipment, and audio-visual presentation was mounted at the Level 4 event area of the mall. Shoppers and visitors were given the opportunity to engage with Navy personnel, learn about their missions, and gain a deeper appreciation for the Navy’s role in safeguarding the country’s maritime interests.

SM City Mindpro proudly supports the Armed Forces and extends its space as a platform to honor their legacy and bring them closer to the public they serve.

The Philippine Navy’s 127th anniversary celebration serves as a reminder of their enduring commitment to protect, serve, and support the Filipino people — on land, at sea, and beyond. (PR)
