Students and staff at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Port Macquarie have won the 2014 inter-campus blood donation challenge set by the Australian Red Cross Blood Service. On a 'per head' basis relative to the size of all CSU campuses, the staff and students at CSU in Port Macquarie made more blood donations during 2014 than the other CSU campuses. To celebrate this achievement, Mr Greg French from the Red Cross presented a plaque to CSU's student Red Cross Ambassador Ms Ashleigh Barker at a celebratory luncheon at 12:30pm Wednesday 4 March at the campus in Port Macquarie. Ms Barker said, "I am really impressed that the students and staff at Charles Sturt University in Port Macquarie have been able to make such a large number of blood donations in 2014. It is even more impressive that we have beaten larger more established CSU campuses in the Red Cross Blood Donation Challenge. I thank all the students and staff here. We aim to increase the number of donations in 2015 and hope to win the challenge for a second time." Mr French also used this opportunity to promote the commencement of the 2015 Red Cross Inter-campus Challenge at CSU.
