Nevada Donor Network hosts annual ‘Hope Dinner’ and awards ceremony

Nevada Donor Network (NDN) recently hosted it's annual "Hope Dinner" to acknowledge and thank key partners who have made significant efforts during the previous year to make organ, eye, and tissue donation possible in Northern Nevada.

“We are honored to recognize the contributions these organizations and individuals have made to further our mission,” said Nevada Donor Network President and CEO Joe Ferreira. “Because of their efforts, more people will make the heroic choice to register, and more lives will be saved and healed through organ, eye, and tissue donation. We are profoundly grateful for their support.”
