Beijing Red Cross Blood Center Brings Donation Drive to China Open
The Beijing Red Cross Blood Center launched a four-day public welfare campaign at the 2026 China Open, running from September 30 to October 3 at the National Tennis Center, sports.gmw.cn reported. The initiative integrated voluntary blood donation outreach into the tournament atmosphere through interactive check-in booths, stationed mobile donation vehicles, and donor recognition events.
Tournament visitors encountered blood donation posters and information desks across all four audience service centers inside the venue. The displays provided practical guides detailing blood donation eligibility, interval requirements, and preferential policies for donors. The main activation point at the north side of the Diamond Court featured a themed check-in board where attendees posed for photographs and received creative stickers featuring red blood-drop cartoon figures.
Mobile Blood Donation Vehicle Deployed at Venue South Gate
A mobile blood donation vehicle remained stationed near the south gate of the National Tennis Center across all four days of the tournament. Tennis fans and holiday visitors utilized the location to donate blood during the National Day holiday period.
On October 1, the Beijing Red Cross Blood Center hosted a special recognition event for blood donors. A group of registered donors participated in a guided tour of the China Tennis History and Culture Exhibition, attended professional matches at the venue, and tried out pickleball activities arranged for visitors.
Public Welfare Integration and Future Outreach Plans
The campaign represents an ongoing effort by organizers to connect professional sports events with public health advocacy.
