Make 2011 the Year YOU Get Involved
The Transplant Center hosts a number of fundraising events every year. There are many ways to get involved. Whether you volunteer, sponsor an event, donate an auction item, help us seek event sponsors, or just show up to bowl, eat, or play golf - you are helping. Our events are a lot of fun and they are a great way to bring our "transplant family" together: doctors, nurses, physician assistants, social workers, clerks, and countless others join our patients and families to help reach our goals. Please plan to make at least one of our fundraising events YOUR event this year - there's no better time than now to make a commitment to join in the fun!
