On Monday, October 24, 2022, South Gate High School Key Club held a Blood Drive in collaboration with the Red Cross! Through biweekly meetings with a Red Cross representative, South Gate Key Clubbers organized a successful blood drive with more than 80+

nors. On hourly shifts, 2-4 Key Clubbers would aid in checking in donors, lenishing the cookies and juice table, sending summons out to students giving od during the school day, and guiding them to the small gym where the blood ve was being held. Key Clubbers worked tirelessly to promote the event and ract as many donors as possible through morning announcements and class ts. These donors, as young as 16, saved three lives each. Throughout the Blood ve, Red Cross also accumulated more than 40 PowerRed Donors, which allowed m to give red blood cells and specifically help those with blood disorders such sickle cell anemia, and those recovering from surgery or trauma. South Gate Key b is proud to have made such an impact alongside the Red Cross. Many mbers reported that they learned much about the medical field by unteering and rated it a surreal experience. Another Blood drive at South Gate h School is scheduled to be achieved next semester!

On October 19,2022, GALA Key Clubbers participated in the AIDS Walk alongside other divisions from Region 8! This was the first time in a few years that our division was able to participate in this event, and it was nothing short of fulfilling! A fundraiser that helps protect APLA Health's programs for those affected by HIV & AIDS in Los Angeles, the AIDS Walk is a powerful event that fervently promotes inclusion. Members were able to do their part by walking with the greater Los Angeles community. This event marked a day of advocacy and connection, and it was the utmost pleasure for Key Club to be part of igniting favorable change.
