When you're lucky enough to have 2024 Miss Florida Casana Fink serve as a Donate Life Florida Ambassador, you discover opportunity. Casana recently visited a DLF board meeting held at Lions World Vision Institute in Tampa, where she recorded a PSA and toured the campus. Casana has been volunteering at LifeQuest since 2022, when we wrote this story about her father, a liver recipient - https://lnkd.in/eSnv7gHD

CONGRATULATIONS ‼ For years Gulf County Tax Collector Shirley Jenkins has taken on the big guys and won! Under her leadership, a small team of employees has repeatedly outpaced tax collectors in 33 counties with an organ donor sign-up rate averaging 67 percent. Donate Life Florida awarded Jenkins the 2024 DLF Lifesaver Award for her contributions to saving lives. The award recognizes a tax collector or tax collector employee who demonstrates strong support of the Donate Life mission, commitment to collaboration, and dedication to increasing the number of registered organ, eye and tissue donors in their community. Jenkins plans to retire at the end of her current term. WE WILL MISS YOU SHIRLEY! (2018 article about Shirley https://lnkd.in/e_NMAenR)

Coach Earl Hankerson and the administration at Rickards High School in Tallahassee are the best when it comes to educating students about organ, eye and tissue donation. We've been visiting Coach's AVID college readiness classes for years. This year we've also been invited to take part in Rickards career fair and table at football game. Involvement in our schools and community is where it's at.

🚗 It's National DMV Appreciation Month! 🚗 Each September, we celebrate our DMV and Driver License Partners (DLPs) who ask the donor registration question to customers every day. There are currently more than 170 million donor registrations in the U.S.! In Florida, individuals can register to be organ donors at the DMV or online at https://lnkd.in/eeUHzzQB.

It's always a good time when serving with the folks from Tallahassee Senior Center, and today's event at at Daniel B Chaires Park and Community Center was positively uplifting. A heartfelt thanks to those who stopped by our table to share their personal donation stories.
