Blood donation drive at ARTBOX 2026
If you needed another reason to brave the crowds at ARTBOX 2026, let this be it. The Singapore Red Cross has teamed up with ARTBOX for a blood donation drive, and donors will get to walk away with a limited-edition Wiggle Wiggle duffle bag. So beyond the food queues and impulse buys, there’s now a way to do a good deed while you’re at it – here’s what you need to know.

Make a pit stop at the Singapore Red Cross booth when you’re at ARTBOX 2026, especially if it’s your first time donating blood. There’ll be a needle-free simulation of the donation process for you to get a feel of what it’s like without, well, any actual needles involved. It’s pretty much a “trial run” to help calm the nerves and figure out what really goes down during a blood donation session.
It’s also your chance to ask all your burning questions, from “will it hurt?” to “can I still go to the gym after?”, without feeling paiseh. BTW, we have a handy guide to blood donation in Singapore for you to deep-dive into before even setting foot at the booth.
Date: 3rd-5th Apr 2026
Time: 12pm-11pm

If you’re already mentally prepped or feeling more confident after the simulation, you can head down to ARTBOX 2026 on the following weekend to donate blood for real. As a little thank-you, successful donors will receive a Singapore Red Cross x Wiggle Wiggle duffle bag, while stocks last.

It’s decked out in cute motifs, including a cheeky blood drop character and the slogan “Give Blood, Save Lives”. Every time you use it, you’ll have a not-so-subtle reminder that you did something meaningful that day.
Date: 10th & 11th Apr 2026
