Canadian Blood ServicesSince 2014, Kin Canada has been a National Partner for Life with Canadian Blood Services. In that time, clubs have helped advocate for blood donorship through awareness initiatives and blood donation, collectively donating over 3,000 units. |
Organ and Tissue Donor AwarenessThe Kin Organ Donor Awareness Campaign (Kin-ODAC) was adopted in 2001 in an effort to raise public awareness about the importance of organ donation. Kin-ODAC is also an extension of our work with Cystic Fibrosis Canada, since most people with CF eventually require a double lung transplant to live. |
Disaster ReliefThe disaster relief fund provides financial assistance to communities in both Canada and beyond our borders during times of crises. Clubs from coast-to-coast are always quick to act when disaster strikes, through donations, fundraisers and physically lending a hand to help. |
Milk for BritainWith over 50 million quarts of milk sent and $3 million raised to feed British children, the Milk for Britain campaign is a significant and inspirational piece of Canada's (and Kin's) history. |
