This event was organized to spread a culture of voluntary participation in blood donation and to help stabilize the blood supply at a time when securing blood is becoming difficult due to a decline in blood donors caused by low birth rates and an aging population.

The blood donation event was conducted by deploying a total of six blood donation vehicles (three at Guri City Hall, two at Guri City Gymnasium, and one at Guri Agricultural and Marine Produce Wholesale Market), and 259 people, including Guri City public officials, voluntarily took part in saving precious lives.

On site, about 30 members of the Korean Red Cross Volunteers Guri City Council (Chairperson Kim Bokjo) took the lead in encouraging participation in blood donation by helping waiting donors fill out medical questionnaires and by personally carrying blood donation promotion placards and chanting slogans.

Kim Bokjo, Chairperson of the Korean Red Cross Volunteers Guri City Council, said, "I would like to thank the citizens of Guri and public officials who took time out of their busy schedules to actively participate in blood donation," adding, "We will continue to promote the importance of blood donation and strive to practice sharing life and loving our neighbors."

Guri Mayor Baek Kyunghyun visited the blood donation event in person to encourage Red Cross volunteers and blood donors, saying, "I hope this Happiness Sharing blood donation event will become a seed of hope for those in need of blood and contribute to stabilizing the blood supply in the region," and added, "Guri City will continue to take the lead in spreading a culture of blood donation."
