Scheduled to run from September 19 through November 23, the collaborative drive aims to boost dwindling blood supplies by incentivizing donors with exclusive, limited-edition franchise merchandise.
Osaka Blood Drive Schedule and Locations
According to the Japanese Red Cross, the campaign takes place across fixed blood donation facilities throughout Osaka Prefecture. Additionally, mobile blood collection units will operate temporary sites from October 10 through October 12. Organizers note that all commemorative goods are available in limited quantities and distribution will end immediately once supplies run out.
Labrad Member Incentives and Battery Campaign
Donors who register through the “Labrad” blood service membership system and participate in whole blood or component donations will receive an exclusive clear file featuring “Ace of Diamond act II” artwork, based on regional campaign guidelines. To qualify, participants must explicitly request to join the campaign at the designated venue.
Furthermore, the initiative introduces a “Battery Donation Campaign” designed for pairs. Participants who arrive at the donation site in groups of two or more and request the special campaign will receive an exclusive sticker set. The promotional strategy encourages friends and family members to donate together to support patients requiring transfusions.
Campaign Overview and Participation Guidelines
The campaign operates under the slogan “Connect, the winning pitch of life,” drawing a direct thematic parallel between the baseball anime’s teamwork and the vital transfer of blood to patients in need. Event organizers emphasize that while the collaboration offers unique collectible items, the primary goal remains stabilizing regional blood inventories during the autumn months.
