The 2025 COG Blood Drive is ON!
COG Aggregation & Lifeblood: Because Every Drop Matters in 2025!
At COG Aggregation, we believe in making a difference – beyond finance and into the heart of our communities. That’s why we’re proud to support Australian Red Cross Lifeblood, rallying our extensive network of asset finance brokers, lenders and staff to help save lives across Australia.
Our journey with Lifeblood began in February 2024, when we launched our corporate partnership and established Team COG Aggregation. That same year, we held our inaugural five-month Blood Drive, bringing our team together for a cause that truly matters.
Now, in February 2025, the #COGBloodDrive is back in full swing, until the end of June! We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has stepped up to donate – your generosity is helping to support patients, families and communities nationwide.
Want to make a real impact? Join Team COG Aggregation and be part of something bigger. Every donation counts, and together, the asset finance industry can help save lives. Can we count you in?
Thank you for supporting the cause.
