Las Vegas is set to host a special soccer match dedicated to raising awareness about organ donation. The Las Vegas Lights FC, in collaboration with the Nevada Donor Network, will present the Donate Life match at Cashman Field this Saturday. The event aims to honor registered donors and encourage new registrations; attendees who show an ID with a donor designation will receive a discount on ticket prices. The match will also spotlight inspiring stories like that of Dinora Arula, a kidney transplant recipient who will be honored during the game.
Numerous attendees are excitedly gearing up for the event, which not only aims to promote organ donation awareness but also celebrates those who have both given and received the gift of life. Dinora Arula, one of the honorees at the game, will be sharing her inspiring journey as a kidney transplant recipient. Arula’s story highlights the life-changing impact of organ donation, recounting how a call from the hospital in 2011 informed her that a matching kidney donor had been found, dramatically shifting her prognosis.
Arula has since become an advocate for transplant recipients, competing in the Transplant Games of America and the World Transplant Games to honor her donor. Her involvement in these events underscores her commitment to staying active and living life to the fullest while raising awareness about the importance of organ donation. As part of the Donate Life match, attendees who are registered donors will receive a discount on ticket prices, further encouraging participation and support for this vital cause.
