Thank You! Holiday Parades

We just wanted to send a heartfelt thanks to our Advocates and their families and friends for helping us spread awareness about organ, eye and tissue donation through holiday parades!

Cheyenne Christmas Parade: Even though our involvement in the parade had to be cancelled due to weather conditions, we are so grateful for all your work to help bring awareness to the Cheyenne community and are looking forward to future parades!

Parade of Lights: Thank you to our 32 Advocates and their families who escorted our gift box balloon in the Denver Parade of Lights!

Colorado Springs Festival of Lights: Thank you to our 6 Advocates and their families and friends who braved very cold weather to share awareness in the Colorado Springs Festival of Lights, a favorite event for so many!
