The event was hosted to bring awareness to the need for organ donation and to learn about the process.
Salyer is a graduate of the MSU Bachelor’s in Social Work (BSW) program in Prestonsburg and spoke to the current students about what she does in the community as a social worker on the day of the drive as well. By informing the students at MSU Prestonsburg and Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BSCTC), the group hopes to increase the number of individuals who sign up to be an organ donor. It also hopes to increase understanding of the donation process and the role KODA plays in the community.
