I have been very impressed by how willing our community has been to help raise awareness about Organ and Tissue Donation. I’d just like to mention some of the things our community has done to help save lives through organ and tissue donation.
- The mayor declared April our city’s Organ, Tissue and Eye Donation Awareness month.
- The local TV network broad-casted the mayor’s declaration on the local news and is running a Donate Life TV ad all the month of April.
- The Plasma Center is running an Organ and Tissue Donation information video in their waiting room all the month of April. The college is also showing the video to those who come to donate blood during their blood drive.
- The High School allowed us to put on an assembly.
- The city put a Donate Life banner, a flag and a billboard on Main Street.
- Many people in the community who have had first hand experiences with this issue have been willing to share their experiences.
I think these are incredible things. We live in a great community.
