Spreading Warmth in Winter: CoolBaby’s Employees Participate in Voluntary Blood Donation

Cool Baby’s Voluntary Blood Donation Activity: Spreading Warmth and Fulfilling Social Responsibility

On December 5th, globally recognized as International Volunteer Day, Anhui Cool Baby Technology Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Cool Baby") jointly organized a large-scale corporate voluntary blood donation activity with Lu'an Central Blood Station. This event was not only a tribute to the volunteer spirit but also a concrete manifestation of Cool Baby's long-term commitment to social responsibility. More than 50 employees, from the company's management to front-line workshop staff, actively signed up, and 27 successfully donated blood in the end, demonstrating the positive, kind, and helpful spirit of Cool Baby's employees and promoting the volunteer spirit of "Dedication, Fraternity, Mutual Assistance and Progress" through practical actions.

Prior to the event, Cool Baby's Human Resources Department and Public Welfare Committee jointly formulated a detailed implementation plan to fully ensure the smooth progress of the activity. In addition to regular internal notices and on-site lectures, the company also innovatively adopted multiple channels to popularize knowledge: vivid posters explaining blood donation knowledge were posted in the factory canteen, office lobby, and workshop entrances; short videos introducing the significance of voluntary blood donation and dispelling common misunderstandings were shared in internal work groups; a special Q&A session was held, inviting medical experts from Lu'an Central Blood Station to answer employees' questions face-to-face. Previously, many employees were worried that blood donation would affect their health or work efficiency. During the Q&A session, experts cited scientific data to clarify that regular blood donation within a reasonable range is beneficial to the human body, helping to promote blood circulation and stimulate bone marrow hematopoietic function. These targeted publicity measures effectively eliminated employees' cognitive concerns, laid a solid foundation for their active participation, and created a strong atmosphere where "everyone is willing and dares to donate blood."

The morning sun shone gently on the factory square. At 8 a.m. sharp, the iconic red love blood donation vehicle slowly drove in, immediately attracting the attention of employees who had signed up in advance. The medical team from Lu'an Central Blood Station moved quickly and in an orderly manner, placing blood collection beds, disinfection supplies, and testing equipment in sequence. Clear signposts were set up around the square to guide employees to different functional areas such as registration, physical examination, blood screening, and blood donation. Cool Baby volunteers wearing eye-catching red volunteer badges assisted throughout the process—some helped fill out health inquiry forms, some brought hot water and towels, and others comforted employees who were slightly nervous about donating blood. The entire scene was busy yet orderly, and every detail reflected the warmth and professionalism of the activity.

Under the guidance of volunteers, employees completed the processes of filling out health inquiry forms, measuring blood pressure, and conducting preliminary blood screening in turn. The medical staff operated meticulously at each step: when measuring blood pressure, they patiently reminded employees to relax; during the blood screening link, they explained the purpose and significance of each test item in detail; when preparing for blood donation, they carefully disinfected the donation site to ensure absolute safety. Many employees waited quietly in line after completing the preliminary examination, chatting softly with colleagues about their expectations for this blood donation. Mr. Wang, a front-line employee who had just finished the night shift, said: "I heard about the blood donation activity a week ago and specially adjusted my schedule. Being able to donate a bag of blood to help those in need makes me feel that my work and life are more meaningful."

The blood donation team is a microcosm of Cool Baby's inclusive and caring corporate culture, with participants covering different ages, positions, and departments. There were not only corporate management personnel who took the lead in donating blood to set an example for employees, but also front-line workshop employees who rushed to the scene during their short work breaks, donated blood, and then returned to work without hesitation. Among them, the story of Ms. Yang and Mr. Li, a couple, was particularly touching and became a heartwarming topic at the event. According to colleagues' memories, Ms. Yang and Mr. Li, who work in different departments of the company, casually mentioned the idea of donating blood to each other a few days before the event but did not clearly state that they would participate. On the day of the event, the two unexpectedly met on the blood donation vehicle. Learning that the other had "secretly" signed up to donate blood, their faces were instantly filled with surprise and tacit understanding. It is reported that this couple has long been enthusiastic about public welfare and has participated in voluntary blood donation many times in their personal capacity, but this was the first time they met at a blood donation event. This unexpected encounter not only deepened their feelings for each other but also made them realize that they have always walked side by side on the road of public welfare, adhering to the original intention of helping others. This mutual dedication of love, like a ray of warm sunshine, touched everyone present and vividly showed Cool Baby's positive, warm, and kind corporate atmosphere.

As a well-known local enterprise rooted in Lu'an, Cool Baby has always adhered to the development philosophy of "developing the enterprise and repaying society", and has long been engaged in various public welfare undertakings, integrating social responsibility into all aspects of the enterprise's development. The company's long-term "Dream-Building Cabin" project is a vivid practice of helping children in distress. In Jinzhai County, an old revolutionary base area with relatively weak educational resources, Cool Baby has renovated and built "Dream-Building Cabins" for dozens of left-behind children from poor families. Each cabin is equipped with brand-new desks, chairs, bookshelves, and stationery, and decorated according to the children's preferences, transforming small and dim rooms into warm and comfortable learning spaces. In addition, the company regularly organizes volunteer teams to visit the children, sending daily necessities, tutoring their studies, and conducting psychological counseling to help them build self-confidence and realize their dreams. The student aid scholarship established by Cool Baby is another important measure to give back to employees and society. Every year, the company provides scholarships to outstanding children of employees who are admitted to key middle schools or universities, alleviating the economic pressure of employee families and encouraging the younger generation to study hard and make progress. Up to now, the scholarship has benefited more than 100 employees' children, helping them embark on a better path of growth.

In addition to helping children and supporting education, Cool Baby is also actively involved in environmental public welfare and emergency assistance. In terms of environmental protection, the company launched the "Green Together Initiative". On the one hand, it upgrades production processes, adopts degradable packaging materials, and introduces energy-saving production equipment to reduce carbon emissions in the production link; on the other hand, it regularly organizes employees to carry out public welfare tree planting, community garbage classification lectures and other activities, and enters primary and secondary schools to carry out environmental science popularization classes to guide teenagers to establish the concept of green life. In addition, in response to local sudden severe weather such as heavy rains and snowstorms, the company will immediately form an emergency volunteer team to assist the community in carrying out obstacle clearance, material transportation and other work, contributing to ensuring the order of residents' lives. This series of public welfare actions has not only won wide praise from society but also established a good corporate image for Cool Baby, making "Guarding with Heart, Taking Responsibility with Love" no longer just a corporate philosophy, but a tangible practice that can be seen and felt.

The person in charge of Lu'an Central Blood Station who was present at the event spoke highly of Cool Baby's initiative. He pointed out that winter is a period of tight blood supply in hospitals. The cold weather leads to a decrease in the number of voluntary blood donors, while the demand for blood from patients in urgent need such as surgical patients and those undergoing chronic disease treatment remains high. Cool Baby's timely organization of this voluntary blood donation activity has effectively alleviated the local blood supply pressure. The 7,100 milliliters of blood donated this time can help nearly 20 patients in urgent need of blood, bringing them the hope of life. "Corporate voluntary blood donation is an important part of voluntary blood donation work. As a responsible local enterprise, Cool Baby has set a good example for other enterprises in the city. It is hoped that more enterprises and social organizations can join the ranks of voluntary blood donation, contribute their love, and guard the lives and health of citizens," the person in charge said.

After the event, many employees shared their feelings on the company's internal platform. Ms. Zhang, who donated blood for the first time, wrote: "I used to be afraid of donating blood, but under the guidance of experts and colleagues, I mustered up the courage to participate. Watching the blood flow into the blood bag, I felt a strong sense of accomplishment. This is a special experience that made me understand how happy it is to help others." The general manager of the company also expressed his views on the event: "Enterprise development cannot be separated from the support of society, and repaying society is the unshirkable responsibility of every enterprise. The voluntary blood donation activity is not only a way to care for life but also a vivid practice of inheriting and promoting the volunteer spirit. In the future, Cool Baby will continue to carry out various public welfare activities, interpret corporate responsibility with practical actions, and work with all sectors of society to build a warmer and more harmonious society."

As the sun set, the love blood donation vehicle slowly left the Cool Baby factory, but the warmth and love brought by the event continued to spread. The 27 bags of blood donated by Cool Baby employees are not only a source of life for patients in urgent need of blood but also a powerful witness to Cool Baby's fulfillment of social responsibility. In the future, Cool Baby will continue to adhere to the corporate philosophy of "Guarding with Heart, Taking Responsibility with Love", give back to society with more specific actions, and write a more wonderful chapter of public welfare with love and responsibility.
