Let Life Sing!
Birds are known across many cultures as one of the most welcomed and visible signs of spring. They represent both new beginnings and visits from loved ones who have passed away. The yearly return of birds and their songs offer us a sense of peace and hope.
Cascade Life Alliance would like to wish you a happy National Donate Life Month and thank you for your efforts in promoting organ, eye and tissue donation and the importance of registering your decision.
Join Us In Celebrating
Blue & Green Spirit Week runs from April 6 through April 12! Join us for fun activities celebrating the Donate Life message, honoring donors, and giving hope to those waiting for a second chance at life. Sharing your decision with family and friends is one of the most important things you can do, which is why we added an extra spirit day this year – Share Your Decision Day on Saturday, April 12! Sing it from the rooftops that you’re a registered organ, eye and tissue donor!
