On May 02, 2009, Mission 5 - SFS College branch jointly organised a blood donation camp with Vijayanagar Hospital Blood Bank.
The event held at in SFS College, Bangalore, was aimed at encouraging college-goers (students) to donate blood voluntarily - a social duty that will save the lives of many casualties, suffering due to loss of excessive blood, in hospitals.
The camp had a tremendous effect.
Over 100 students came forward to participate in the blood donation camp, though only 40 students cleared the pre-donation test.

With each student donating 1 unit of blood (350ml) - in total 40 units of blood were collected.
With the success and response of the first blood donation camp, the students' initiative has planned to organise a blood donation camp every year, at a venue where more and more students can participate easily.
