This year, 1Twenty80 celebrated its sixth anniversary by advocating for a cause. For the first time, we organised a blood donation campaign in collaboration with Malaysia’s National Blood Centre (Pusat Darah Negara), enlisting the help of all the superheroes in our midst to save lives.
Donating blood is said to save up to three lives. What better way to commemorate our sixth birthday than by giving back to the community? In total, 53 people signed up to donate blood. However, only 39 of the individuals were eligible to donate blood.
We received overwhelming support from walk-in registrations, and we are truly grateful to all of the superheroes who attended.
We also had other activities to engage with the people around us during the event. These activities include a colouring corner, a merchandise booth, and supplement sales by our friends from Wellesta Truelife. Our ‘Colour and Chill Corner’ kept kids entertained while their parents donated blood.
We’d like to thank our sponsors, Pearl Shopping Gallery, Azomis Skincare, BeauMedic Dermaceutical, Entopest, Symphony Nutraceuticals, Wellesta Truelife, Munching Mob Bukit Jalil, Stantrade, and Ancom Truelife, for their support. We celebrated the joy of giving and saving lives through your sponsorships!
Last but not least, this would not have been possible without the actual superheroes who showed up on the day and gave the ultimate gift, which is life. It’s comforting to know that there are still heroes among us!
We hope that our message about the importance of donating blood will spread beyond this event and that people will continue to donate blood.
