Project Save A Life

Submitted by Kristen28 on Mon, 2007-10-08 00:57.

See It: The Community being helped

A Girl Scout Gold Award Project.
Millions of people are effected by health issues; how are those who are healthy supporting those who are not? Sure donating money to one specific organization is helpful, but when there are so many why not spread the wealth?
The goal of Project Save A Life is to pull the American Red Cross, Locks of Love, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Carly's Club (pediatric cancer), Donate Life (organ donation), AIDS Community Services of Buffalo, and Hospice of Buffalo, together and have the ultimate fundraiser. The public will have the opportunity to visit the fundraiser and donate: blood, hair, money, sign up for organ donation, and overall learn that it takes a little to change the life of someone else. Each organization will be given the donations directly from donors.
