Poland 2026 blood donation campaign

Entities: Legion Association · General Krzysztof Stańczyk · Warsaw Uprising · PGE Narodowy · 5th Mazovian Brigade of Territorial Defense

Overview

In early July 2026 Poland’s Territorial Defence Forces and the Honorary Blood Donors Association launched a nationwide blood‑donation campaign to commemorate the Warsaw Uprising and meet summer‑time demand. The effort runs from 1 July to 31 August and includes a flagship Uniform‑Health Picnic on 25 July at Warsaw’s PGE Narodowy stadium, featuring donation stations, military displays and family attractions.

Local authorities scheduled a specific drive on 29 July at the municipal stadium in Jaworzyna Śląska to address acute shortages of several blood groups reported by the Regional Center for Blood Donation and Transfusion in Wałbrzych. The event operates from 09:30 to 13:30 and targets healthy adults aged 18‑65.

On the same day, Territorial Defence troops participated in the “MOJA KREW” (My Blood) event at the PGE Narodowy stadium, where 35 soldiers donated more than 15 liters of blood. A parallel drive in Częstochowa’s HDK Legion club attracted 31 donors and yielded almost 14 liters, also supporting local hospitals and the DKMS bone‑marrow donor registry. These activities illustrate the campaign’s coordinated national and regional response to both commemorate historic events and alleviate critical blood‑supply shortages.
