Legendary Sachin Tendulkar will sign the certificates for the blood donors at the Cricket Association of Bengal’s 90th Foundation Day on February 3. Dedicated to the memory of Sir Frank Worrell, the blood donation camp is being organised for the 38th year in succession as the donors will be handed over badges and certificates of honour signed by the Indian maestro.
Seven blood banks with the total collection capacity of 1200 units would collect blood from 9am to 6pm, CAB joint-secretary Avishek Dalmiya said.
Former Indian stalwarts Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh and VVS Laxman had signed the certificates in the last three years. Inspired by Worrell, who came forward to donate blood, the Indian and West Indies cricketers gave blood for the seriously injured Indian skipper.
