Sioux Falls Native Wins Car:Promotes organ donation

KDLT News | Melissa Payne

Donating organs can be a life saver, and to help raise awareness about the ultimate gift, the David Foster Foundation gave away an official Indy 500 pace car.

24-year-old Kelly Nyberg from Sioux Falls won the Camaro.

Nyberg says more than a dozen people get added to the organ donor list every day and thousands die each year, waiting for a donor.
