Shooting Hoops for Donation Awareness

Gift of Life Donor Program | Patrice

Gift of Life Donor Program, CORE and Donate Life Pennsylvania have teamed up with the PA Department of Health to raise awareness for donation while having fun in the community at the same time. Within the upcoming months, we will be working with the partnering organizations to present AND1 LIVE! Streetball Tour in four Pennsylvania cities.

The first AND1 LIVE! Tour PA event will take place on Friday, May 18 from 6 – 9 p.m in Harrisburg High School’s Kimber Gymnasium, located at 2451 Market Street in Harrisburg. Donate Life-PA’s goals will be to inform attendees about the importance of organ donation and to dispel the common myths and misconceptions surrounding organ donation. To do this, Donate Life-PA will be speaking to the audience to talk about the urgent need for organ and tissue donation and dispelling the myths and misconceptions that surround becoming a donor.

The AND1 LIVE! Tour highlights the talents of some of Streetball’s leading stars. The mission of the tour is to serve the community and promote positive and healthy role models for today’s youth. Through the partnership, Donate Life-PA hopes to raise awareness of organ and tissue donation in the multicultural community as well as the 18-24 age group.
