OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma City Dodgers proudly continue their partnership with LifeShare of Oklahoma to join the organization’s mission of gaining and educating organ donors in the state of Oklahoma.
OKC Dodgers fans have the opportunity to sign up in person to become organ donors throughout the team’s 2021 baseball season. Guests to Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark can sign up during any Dodgers home game to become LifeShare Everlasting Fans and receive a limited-edition T-shirt by visiting the promotions kiosk located on the concourse behind section 109.
During the 2019 season, more than 1,400 people registered to become an organ donor at OKC Dodgers games.
“We are excited to continue our partnership with the Oklahoma City Dodgers this season,” Jeffrey Orlowski, President and CEO of LifeShare of Oklahoma, said. “Allowing fans to register their decision to be a donor at Dodgers home games gives hope to nearly 700 Oklahomans waiting on a lifesaving transplant.”
LifeShare of Oklahoma is a nonprofit, federally designed organ procurement organization dedicated to the recovery of organs and tissue for transplant purposes. LifeShare, created in 1986, works closely with five transplant centers and 145 health care organizations in Oklahoma to facilitate donation. LifeShare of Oklahoma strives “to raise awareness for organ, eye and tissue donation through public education,” according to the organization’s website.
