Guest: Heather Burke, spokesperson for Donor Alliance and Niki Kigerl, Teacher from Eaglecrest High School

Donor Alliance’s Community of Excellence Award is presented each year to individuals or organizations in Colorado and Wyoming who go above and beyond to educate and inspire others about the importance of organ and tissue donation.  This year’s recipient is Niki Kigerl, her son was born with a rare liver disease and will eventually need a transplant, so she knows firsthand the importance of organ and tissue donation.  Donor Alliance’s Transplantation Science Program gives students an interactive look at the science behind organ and tissue donation.  Transplantation Science Program is offered in two languages in schools throughout Colorado and Wyoming.
