World Blood Donor Day is not lesser than a Birthday or Mother's Day or indeed a festival. A birthday celebrates new life and Mother's Day makes us rejoice the birth giver, but a Blood Donation Day is a day for both- the one who gets a new life and the one who donates blood and gives a new life. It is not lesser than a festive occasion which commemorates the 'new life' and 'new life giver'. People come together to observe World Blood Donor Day every 14th of June for witnessing many super-heroes in the form of Blood Donors and encourage such events that promote humanity.

In May 2004, the 192 Member States gave their consent in the 57th World Health Assembly for addressing people for blood donation through a dedicated day, known as World Blood Donation Day or World Blood Donor Day. Thus 2004 became the year of establishment of this noble cause and the day of saving lives through giving blood. It witnessed the first united effort of urging people to become blood donors by generating awareness of the blood need and promoting safe, voluntary (unpaid) and qualitative blood. Since then, the human race has been observing World Blood Donor Day every 14 June to celebrate not just the donation of blood, but life.
