National Donor Day in Las Vegas

Join us as we celebrate National Donor Day in Las Vegas, along with many of our wonderful community partners. National Donor Day was started in 1998, with the purpose of increasing awareness and registrations for the five points of life: organs, tissues, marrow, platelets and blood. In honor of this occasion, we invite YOU to join us for our first-ever “Donate Life & Love” event, from noon to 4 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 14 at Boca Park Fashion Village, 750 S Rampart Blvd. in Las Vegas.

Nevada Donor Network will sign up those wishing to register as organ, eye and tissue donors; UMC Center for Transplantation will answer questions about living organ donation; United Blood Services will have a “blood mobile” on-site for blood donations; and Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation will sign up those interested in becoming bone marrow donors.

In addition to raising awareness for life-saving donations, we will team up with other local organizations who help improve the quality of life for members of our community. The Animal Foundation will have dogs available for adoption and will collect new dog collars, leashes and pet store gift cards; The Shade Tree will collect new or gently-used clothing for women and new diapers for children; Land Rover Las Vegas will be collecting new or gently used blankets for the Las Vegas Rescue Mission; and Nathan Adelson Hospice will collect food donations and grocery and gas gift cards for its Families in Need program.

We encourage YOU to join us on February 14 to #DonateLifeandLove !
