Dinaluhan ang blood donation activity ng iba't-ibang miyembro ng lay organizations mula sa mga kabataan (UMYF), kabataang may sapat na gulang (UMYAF), kababaihan (UMWSCS), at mga kalalakihan (UMM), at mga manggagawa ng Panginoon mula sa iba't-ibang local churches sa PWD sa pangunguna ni District Superintendent Rev. Rizalino Nabor, Jr. Bumisita rin sa nasabing gawain si Bishop Rev. Dr. Rodel Acdal ng BEA. Sa kanyang mensahe, ang mahal na Obispo ay nagpasalamat sa suporta ng PWD sa blood donation campaign ng Episkopalya at hinikayat ang lahat na gawin itong regular na aktibidad upang mas marami pa ang matulungan kapag mas marami ang mai-donate na dugo.

Kasabay ng blood donation ang Basic First Aid at Basic Disaster Preparedness Training upang ang bawat pamilya ng UMYAF ay maging handa sa anumang sakuna.

Ang PWD UMYAF, sa pangunguna ni Pres. Melchor Sagun at ang buong PWD ay nagpapasalamat sa Philippine Red Cross Western Pangasinan Chapter sa pag-facilitate ng bloodletting activity at ng nasabing training.
