Huge thanks to Lakeside Shopping Center for letting us share our Donate Life mission through Gowns of Giving. Our dress was inspired by two young donors who continue to live on in others. The butterflies symbolize new beginnings 🐛🦋 just like organ, eye & tissue donors give transplant recipients new beginnings!

You can vote once per email address per day, so make it part of your daily routine & help us shine and support our life-saving mission: https://www.lakesideshopping.com/gownsvoting

Hanging out at Lakeside? Swing by, snap a selfie with our dress & send it to us (after you vote, of course) 💙💚🦋

We ❤ this story of Big Chief and how a grant from the Southern Eye Bank Foundation will allow him to receive a corneal cross-linking treatment to help stop the progression of his eye disease.

November is Eye Donation Awareness Month, raising awareness of corneal donation & transplantation. It also honors our everyday heroes who restore sight: donors & their families, eye bankers, corneal surgeons & champions of eye donation.

Thank you to all of our Donate Life Louisiana collaborative partners who help make the life-transforming process of cornea transplantation possible. 💙💚👁️‍🗨️

Thanks to a generous donation, UMC brings sight-saving treatment to hundreds, including one culture bearer whose legacy depends on it.

Organ donation saves lives at every age. 💚
This week’s myth buster: You’re never “too old” to register.
Doctors evaluate the health of each organ, not the donor’s age.
Registering matters more than you know.
