Málaga CF and its Foundation are once again joining forces with the Málaga Centre for Blood, Tissue and Cell Transfusion to host another edition of the Malaguista Blood and Bone Marrow Donation Day. The event will take place next Wednesday 18 November, at Hospital Civil, from 15:00 to 21:00.

Inspired by the legacy of Pablo Ráez, this charitable initiative aims to promote blood and bone marrow donation and help maintain the reserves needed to meet the demands of hospitals across the province.

As a thank you for taking part, the first 150 donors are guaranteed to receive a Malaguista gift. Prizes include shirts signed by the entire first team squad, shirts signed by Alfonso Herrero, official match balls and other gifts.

Alongside blood donations, professionals from the Transfusion Centre will be on hand throughout the event to provide information and register anyone wishing to join the bone marrow donor register.

To give blood, you must be aged between 18 and 65, weigh more than 50 kg and have no chronic or infectious diseases. If you have recently had a tattoo, at least four months must have passed before you can donate.

The Transfusion Centre reminds the public that around 250 blood donations are needed every day to support medical procedures carried out in hospitals across Málaga. These figures highlight the importance of keeping the community’s spirit of solidarity alive, as blood cannot be manufactured and relies entirely on donations from the public.

Next Wednesday, we have another opportunity to show that the Malaguista spirit is a team effort, both on and off the pitch.

We look forward to seeing you at Hospital Civil, Malaguista!
