LifeLink of Florida launched the #BeTheGiftFlorida marketing campaign to extend organ donor registration.
LifeLink is encouraging folks to develop into a donor by registering.
People might then take part within the marketing campaign by utilizing the Big Red Bow filter to place a bow on an image of themselves. LifeLink encourages folks to put on it, present it and share it throughout social media.
“For our donor registration, so far, our state registry, we actually are the third largest donor registry in the country, which is great. We have a little over 12 million people registered, but that’s really roughly only 50% of the population, so there’s more we can do; the more people who register to donate, the more lives we’re going to be able to save,” mentioned Ashley Moore, Manager of Public Affairs at LifeLink Foundation.
LifeLink of Florida is the non-profit organ procurement group accountable for life-saving organ and tissue donations.
