This is what the Director of the Daegu Gyeongbuk Blood Center Seong-sik Ji said at the closing ceremony of the 'We Are Red 2024 Blood Donation Campaign' held on the 24th December 2024.
The We Are Red blood donation campaign of We Are One, named 'The Miracle Moment', was initiated in 2022 to save lives by donating blood one donor at a time, celebrating the moment when a person gains life through blood donation, the moment when the blood supply crisis is overcome, and the moment when a life-saving blood donation culture is established.
On the 24th of last month, the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Branch of We Are One received the 'Daegu-Gyeongbuk Blood Center Director Award' in recognition of its consistent service, exceeding its blood donation goal for two consecutive years and achieving 110% of its goal of 3130 people by having 3458 people participate in blood donation in 2024 alone. Moreover, the ₩21,733,500 (c.£11,000) raised through blood donation vouchers chosen by participants when donating blood will be donated to places in need, such as supporting vulnerable groups in the region and providing scholarships.
Member Ju-ho Yeo (29, male, Daegu City), who was selected as an excellent blood donor, said that he first participated in the blood donation service in 2022 after hearing that blood donation was needed for the development of a COVID-19 vaccine. He shook off his fear and prejudice about donating blood, and now says, “I’m about to donate blood for the 12th time. If there’s anyone who’s hesitating, I urge them to check their own health and try donating blood to save others.”
Meanwhile, We Are One is a youth volunteer organisation comprised of 90,000 youth volunteers from Korea.
