Mrs. Gaye Davis, Health and Physical Education teacher at West Bladen High and former respiratory therapist, presented an eye opening program, Donate Life, at the January 30 meeting of the Bladenboro Rotary Club. 

Donate Life is a donor registry program where individuals choose to make all their organs available for transplant at the time of death. Donors say “yes” by having a red heart placed on the drivers license. Mrs. Davis said Bladen County ranked 97 out of 100 in North Carolina in organ donations.

In 2016, only 36.5% of Bladen County residents were donors. Mrs. Davis pointed out that donors not only impacted the lives of the many recipients but, also their families.
