April Proclaimed Donate Life Month in South Carolina

Governor Sanford Signs Proclamation

Governor Mark Sanford has proclaimed April as Donate Life Month in South Carolina.  In addition to this proclamation, Donate Life South Carolina earlier this month launched a statewide campaign to bring awareness to the great need for more organ and tissue donors in the state.  Over 600 South Carolinians currently are on the waiting list for a life saving organ transplant.
