Subject to pressing needs throughout the country, blood donation requires the participation of everyone. Private companies can provide valuable assistance, the JOA Casino in Santenay is a good example.
A partnership to raise awareness about donations
After several actions implemented over the last two years including a blood drive in 2023, the Casino Joa de Santenay is stepping up its actions alongside the EFS:
– By raising awareness among its employees, partners and customers about donating blood and plasma.
– By becoming a “snack entertainment partner” at the Don Houses of Côte d’Or (Dijon) and Saône et Loire (Chalon and Mâcon) and in particular on Fridays the 13th to allow donors to have a pleasant time having a snack after their Don.
Mobilization for blood donation must be daily!
With the surge in winter epidemics, the approaching end-of-year celebrations and public holidays, blood product reserves are becoming more fragile.
In Burgundy-Franche-Comté, 600 blood donations are necessary every day to meet the needs of patients, whether they suffer from cancer, rare and/or chronic diseases or even victims of serious accidents. 1 million people are treated each year through blood donations, blood transfusions or taking medications derived from plasma.

Every Friday the 13th, find A+ break entertainment with the Casino at the Maisons du Don in Chalon, Dijon and Mâcon.

Activities will also be offered throughout the year during fundraising events (My Blood for Others, World Blood Donor Day, etc.).
