Kicking Off the Show Your Heart Project in Wyoming
Join Donor Alliance and the Natrona County Library for the launch of the Show Your Heart Project in Wyoming! April is National Donate Life Month and now is the time to show your heart in support of the nearly 200 people in Wyoming currently waiting for a lifesaving transplant. Did you know that anyone, regardless of age or medical condition, can register as a donor?
The Show Your Heart Project spotlights the altruism of organ, eye and tissue donation in communities across Wyoming. Participants will hide (in plain sight) hearts bearing personalized messages of inspiration to show appreciation for those who have already signed up to become donors and inspire others to consider such an act of generosity. Amazingly, 59% of Wyomingites have already signed up to give the gift of life, but there is still more work to be done! You can saves lives too by registering to be an organ, eye and tissue donor at the launch party, or online anytime. Come celebrate with us on March 31st , 2018 from 2-4pm.
It’s fun and as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1. Find a Heart
2. Share a picture of your heart on social media using the hashtag #ShowYourHeart
3. Hide it in or around the Natrona County Library
Led by several Wyoming transplant recipients and donor families, we are excited to kick off the month long celebration all over Wyoming with lifesaving stories of those who gave the ultimate gift. There will be a prize wheel, several educational interactive opportunities to learn more about donation and transplantation, and giveaways for those who join us to kick-off National Donate Life Month by showing their hearts!
In addition to the Show Your Heart Project, National Donate Life Month will be celebrated at various events across the state throughout the month. A full list of events is available at DonorAlliance.org/events.
