USA: In a heartwarming initiative marking National Donate Life Month, RC Lacy Ford Subaru and Catskill hosted a significant event last Friday aimed at encouraging organ donation across the New York State. Taking place in Catskill, the local car dealership mobilized community action by inviting residents to pledge their commitment to organ donation throughout April.
Attendees included the courageous young Aviana Overbball from Albany, whose presence underscored the profound impact of organ transplantation. Two years ago, Aviana’s life was transformed by a heart transplant at the esteemed Boston children‘s Hospital. Her inspiring story serves as a poignant reminder of the life-saving potential of organ donations and how they can profoundly impact local communities.
The dealership’s initiative highlights how businesses can play a pivotal role in promoting community health by backing life-altering causes. They announced ongoing efforts throughout the month to register more organ donors, extending their community service beyond the single event, aiming for increased awareness and participation.
This event also provided a platform for residents to share stories, offer support, and emphasize the importance of organ donation. As the narrative spreads through social media under the hashtag #givingon10, the Catskill community sets a powerful example of how individuals can come together to support critical health initiatives, potentially saving lives through simple acts of generosity.
