"It is the time for reciprocity, but also to generate a culture and what better than here at the University to be able to permeate the importance of providing this type of donation that has a wonderful benefit for the community." shared Maria de Lourdes Rosales Corrales, Head of the Protocol Office.
Within the framework of altruism and social commitment, which are part of the pillars of Universidad Panamericana, the Business Leaders Committee, its allies and sponsors: REDAC, Dulces de la Rosa S.A. de C.V. and Corbec worked together to carry out the first edition of Corazón Pantera, a Blood Donation Campaign that took place within the University's facilities on October 26, 27 and 28, 2021.
In order to solve a great health need in our country, such as blood transfusion, 120 members of the Panamericana community, including students, teachers and administrative personnel, altruistically registered to be donors and participate in this praiseworthy campaign.
"Today I have the possibility of having my mom alive thanks to the blood donation of 9 people. If you have the opportunity to help someone, don't hesitate," said Melissa L. Reyes, ESDAI student and blood donor.
