State Representative Kim Schofield participated in the WeLoveU Foundation's blood drive at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on September 15, 2024. The event celebrated the 20th anniversary of the International WeLoveU Foundation’s blood drive initiatives, held in collaboration with the American Red Cross. It was organized to honor Hispanic Heritage Month and Sickle Cell Awareness Month.
"This blood drive highlights the power of our community coming together to uplift one another," said Rep. Schofield. "WeLoveU’s commitment to improving health outcomes, especially in support of communities disproportionately affected by health disparities, is a cause worth celebrating. I am proud to stand with the volunteers, organizers and donors who selflessly gave their time and resources to make this event a success. Events like these remind us that a small act can have a profound impact. Each donation represents a step toward healing and hope."
The Atlanta event collected 284 pints of blood, potentially saving up to 852 lives. Concurrent drives were also conducted in Los Angeles and Philadelphia. State Representatives Jordan Ridley and Sheila Jones joined Schofield at the Atlanta location.
