Give Your Heart Away for Valentine’s Day!

February 8, 2010

NOTE: This online event only applies to Illinois residents! Sorry, limited quantities.

What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than by giving back to others in need??!

Before diving into that decadent piece of chocolate, racing out to purchase that pretty bouquet of flowers or pick up that special Hallmark card, take a moment to help us out between Monday, Feb. 8 - Friday, Feb. 12.

During this week, complete either item #1 or #2 below and we will mail you 3 “I Heart Organ Donor” stickers! A small gesture of thanks for your gratitude in helping us save the lives of the more than 105, 000 people nationwide that are waiting for a lifesaving transplant.

You can also join our “Give Your Heart Away For Valentine’s Day” Facebook event here!

1. If you haven’t already, REGISTER as an organ/tissue donor in Illinois today!

IMPORTANT: Be sure to select “Valentine’s Day” on the registration form.

2. If you are already a registered donor in Illinois, use our Tell-A-Friend tool to encourage four family members, coworkers, friends or others to also register!

IMPORTANT: Enter donatelifeillinois@gmail.com as the 5th friend address so that we know you participated.

Mascots On A Mission – Coming March 1, 2010

February 1, 2010

Last Friday, I mentioned having heard some rumblings about donation mascots getting together for some special training in preparation for National Donate Life Month in April. Don’t get me wrong, we love our own Morgan D’ Organ but along with the other mascots, there is always room for improvement in encouraging more people to register.

The details are all coming together.

5 Mascots. 1 Month. 1 Mission…Register Organ Donors.

Get ready, this is going to be good. Starting March 1, there will be daily blog updates on www.MascotMission.com along with some video coverage of the mascots going through their training workshop.

You can sign up for the email updates on the site above (you’ll also receive a fancy Mascots On A Mission sticker for doing so!). Be sure to also become a fan of the Mascots On A Mission Facebook page and you can also follow updates on Twitter from Mike Flaid himself as he prepares the mascots for what is sure to be a busy month of training in March and subsequent outreach in April.

Enjoy the video below and feel free to share away!
