Thousands of people across the United States and dozens in our community are waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital is partnering with Gift of Hope to bring awareness to organ donation and to honor those who have passed while waiting for a transplant, those who were able to donate and those still waiting with a Memorial Walk and Chalk event on Friday, Sept. 20 from 5 – 7 p.m. on the hospital campus.
St. Mary’s Hospital and Gift of Hope invite the community to remember organ donors with a walk around the hospital campus adorned with sidewalk chalk and yard signs honoring those who have given the gift of life.
To honor an organ donor, recipient or someone still waiting for a transplant with a yard sign on the day of the event, please email their name and picture to Tami Pruetzel at [email protected] by Thursday, Aug. 8.
For any additional questions regarding the event, please email Kim Menges at [email protected].
