This Friday, the Stars are proud to once again participate in a night to raise awareness for organ donation through the Taylor’s Gift Foundation - a local group whose mission is dedicated to increasing organ donation through youth education. The foundation was created by Todd and Tara Storch, parents of three, who saw first-hand how important and life-changing organ donation can be. Their daughter, Taylor Storch, was 13 when she passed away in a ski accident in Colorado. Her parents quickly made the decision to have her organs donated to those in need, and in doing so, Taylor Storch helped to save five lives.
At a time that most would spend grieving, pondering, "why me?", Taylor's parents knew that they had to do something positive to get the word out about the importance of organ donation. Thus, the Taylor's Gift Foundation was born- with a purpose to increase organ donation, re-gift life, renew health, and restore families.
