The COG Blood Drive is back for 2026
Every year, the COG Aggregation and Platform Finance community comes together to support Australian Red Cross Lifeblood by donating blood and plasma to help save lives across Australia. These donations play a vital role in medical care – from emergency responses and surgeries to cancer treatment and chronic conditions – and each contribution can make a meaningful difference to someone in need.
In 2026, from February to June, we’re proud to continue this important tradition and invite our staff, brokers, lenders, partners and wider community to take part of the #AssetFinanceBloodDrive.
Why it Matters
