A fun night of baseball will help save lives

| Ty Gipson, owner of Minuteman Press, this year’s Small Business of the Year for the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, and a classmate of mine in the Leadership Georgetown program, has asked me to help promote the Donate Life night at the Round Rock Express. This night will shine a spotlight on organ donation. Ty believes passionately in this cause, and for good reason - he was the recipient of two donated organs seven years ago. Without those generous donations, he might not be here today. On April 22, come to the Dell Diamond to watch Ty throw the first pitch, and help save a life or two by spreading the word about organ donation. | |
| If you can’t come to the ballpark, I hope you will at least visit the website DonateLifeTexas.org. In two minutes, you can make your wishes known to your family. What a tragedy it would be if you wanted to donate your organs, but no one knew about it! Registration at the website takes only a couple of minutes. One organ donor can save up to eight lives! |  |
