Suit Up For Jack is a cosplay driven blood donor awareness campaign. It started in London, Ontario, Canada but has now grown globally to 6 countries. It’s simple. Cosplayers donate blood in costume. They have photos taken of the cosplay donation while holding a sign with the #SuitUpForJack hashtag on it. Additionally they put their city name on the sign as well.
