Organizers of the event aimed to support, educate, and recognize donations of organs, eyes, and tissue in Ohio.
Community Outreach Coordinator Stephanie Burianek said that one person can save eight lives and enhance the lives of over 100 more through tissue donation.
“It’s so very critical that we do these awareness events and get the word out about organ donation because it’s so important,” said Burianek.
