– Philanthropist, entrepreneur and fashion designer, Tina Knowles Lawson, has created the #IDIDMYPART campaign to encourage residents in her beloved home city of Houston to get tested in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recognizing that African American communities have an escalated rate of infections and fatalities, Knowles Lawson is pleading to Houston residents to know their status in an urgent appeal to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
On Friday, May 8, United Memorial Medical Center (UMMC) Healthcare staff will administer 500 COVID-19 tests in Houston’s 3rd Ward at Cullen Middle School, located at 6900 Scott Street, Houston, Texas 77021.
Testing will also take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
BeyGOOD’s director, Ivy McGregor, looks forward to all interested individuals and businesses – local and national – joining forces with Knowles Lawson and BeyGOOD in building the movement to make a difference in the communities.
Recently, Beyoncé teamed up with Jack Dorsey’s #StartSmall to donate $6 million through BeyGOOD to local community-based organizations, including United Memorial Medical Center, which has been at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19 with six testing locations in and around the Houston area.
