FAIRMONTÂ â A local restaurant joined in with a national nonprofit Friday to raise awareness about organ donation.
April is set aside as National Donate a Life Month by the Center for Organ Recovery and Education and Friday was CORE s Blue and Green Day, which was celebrated at Noteworthy Sweets in Fairmont. The effort aims to try and get people to start a conversation about organ donation.
According to CORE, 112,000 people in the U.S. are currently awaiting an organ transplant. Every 10 minutes someone new is added to the organ transplant waiting list and 20 people die each day without receiving a transplant. One person who is an organ donor can save eight lives.
