Indiana Donor Network Ambassadors, members of Alpha Phi Alpha and WTLC celebrated the gift of life this weekend at the Circle City Classic parade. We shared an important message: One organ donor can save eight lives.
This fact is important because there are more than 100,000 people on the national transplant list waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant, and 50% of those waiting are people of color.
