2nd Annual Bhai Jaswant Singh Khalra Blood Donation Camp
A true voice for human rights. One donation can help save up to three lives — and it takes about an hour of your morning.
Event details
1952 – 1995
Why the camp carries his name
Bhai Jaswant Singh Khalra
A bank official from Amritsar who became one of Punjab’s most determined human rights defenders. In the mid‑1990s he gathered and made public the records of thousands of people who had been picked up, never charged, and never seen again.
He was abducted in September 1995 and never came home. The club holds this camp each September in his memory — a day spent helping to save lives, in the name of a man who gave his own trying to protect them.

Eat and drink first
A proper meal and plenty of water beforehand makes the whole thing easier.

Who can donate is decided by Canadian Blood Services, not by us.
