Beaver Dam Community Hospital (BDCH) is among the more than 85 Donate Life Wisconsin member and partner hospital organizations that will simultaneously host a statewide Donate Life Flag raising ceremony and moment of silence to promote the mission of organ, tissue and eye donation, and honor donors and their families.
Monday, April 2 at 10:08 a.m. at the BDCH Main Entrance to highlight the fact that one donor can save eight lives followed by a moment of silence for 1 minute and 14 seconds to recognize the more than 114,000 patients waiting for a life-saving transplant. Of those patients, more than 2,000 are right here in Wisconsin. A member of the BDCH Executive Team will speak prior to the flag raising, while individuals affected by organ donation will say a few words afterward.
Donate Life Wisconsin created the inaugural Pause to Give Life event as a new, statewide observance to take place annually on the first Monday morning of April to mark the start of National Donate Life Month.
