Valentine's Day competition calls hospitals to sign up organ donors | Community Spirit

Hospitals across the Memphis area are competing in the second annual 'Show Me Your Heart' Competition on Valentine's Day.

The Mid-South Transplant Foundation is sponsoring the competition where 14 hospitals compete to sign up people to the organ donor registry, and see how many hospital staff members and visitors are currently registered donors. 

The hospital with the most registered donors and the hospital who registers the most new donors that day will each receive trophies from Mid-South Transplant Foundation.

A booth will be set up in each hospital in the lobby or cafeteria. MSTF staff members and volunteers will be at the booth to answer any questions.  They will also offer a heart shaped candy to all who show their heart or organ donor on their driver’s license or register as an organ and tissue donor during the event that day.
