From 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., non-profit organ and tissue recovery agency representatives will be available to answer questions and help people sign up to be donors.

"Through donation, Chris' donor Tommy Weiss did what no doctor could do. He saved Chris' life," Truxow said in a statement. "We consider Tommy, his mom and all donors to be heroes. This special day is dedicated to them."
