Gearing up for Organ Donation Month!
Please Share our video made of clips from the DVD extras, in support of Organ Donation for the Month of April. (National Donate Life Month in the US!)
Spring is finally upon us – and we are gearing up for Organ Donation Month activities, all during April! All our #4Eva items (DVDs, T’s Art Cards) are 25% off our online store with the promo code: organdonor#4Eva
I’m quite excited to be working on the #4Eva Campaign this year. One personal reason – A few weeks ago, a friend of mine passed away suddenly, but had been an advocate for organ donation, which his family made a point to recognize in the midst of the tragedy. My friend who passed was an incredibly generous human being – one of those people in your life that lacks any malice in their spirit, but instead spreads joy and happiness to those around him. I was really moved when I heard that he made it a point to spread the word about organ donation during his short life, as it revealed that his generosity extends beyond the end of his life. Although I never personally met Eva, her message of love and giving resonates so much with my relationship with my friend, whose life emanated love, joy, and generosity. It’s a message that I think is at the heart of the #4Eva Campaign – and a message worth spreading!
My hopes for Organ Donation Month are that we can inspire people around us to want to be involved with the campaign, and build momentum for a movement for organ donation.
To start off the months events, 65_RedRoses has been selected as one of Hot Docs 20th anniversary Top 20 films, and will be screening in Toronto on April 9th at the Bloor Cinema, 506 Bloor Street West. We are very excited to be profiled again by Hot Docs, and we are hoping to spread the word about the #4Eva Campaign at this screening.
If you are interested in the campaign, but aren’t sure how you can contribute, please send us an email, or click here to sign up!
