Hundreds gathered during Riot & Rebels at the England Brothers Bandshell in Pinellas Park to raise money and awareness for Don’t Bury Good Organs. Joining in on the fun were LifeLink of Florida, OneBlood and Be The Match.
Don’t Bury Good Organs is a non-profit organization focused on raising awareness for the importance of being an organ donor. Their organization also raises funds for organ transplant recipients and organ donor families to assist in paying the unexpected costs associated with giving and receiving the gift of life through organ donation. In loving memory of Elijah Angelus Mayhew February 14, 2002- August 29, 2017 whom saved six lives through organ donation when he passed. For more information please visit www.dontburygoodorgans.com
