We recently hosted Winterfest at our Indiana Donor Network Headquarters!

Winterfest is an extension of our Children's Journey programming, providing space for children family members of donor heroes to build relationships with our Aftercare team and other children in a with similar experiences.

This event is typically hosted around the holidays, but had to be postponed due to inclement weather.

The holidays can be a challenging time for families who have experienced grief, and Winterfest brings together families who can enjoy a child-focused time of joy and celebration for their loved ones. This year, we invited families who have not previously attended Donor Hero Camp so that they could get to know us and learn more about that program.

The kids had a great time learning about our donor memorial, making fun treats, crafting and enjoying time with two sweet therapy pups!

Thank you to the generous support of Indiana Donor Network Foundation for making events like this possible!

Our President and CEO, Kellie Tremain, is rolling up her sleeve to donate blood with our friends at Versiti!

Indiana Donor Network is proud to support another kind of lifesaving donation and hosts staff blood drives regularly to support the cause. Organ transplants usually require a unit or two of blood, with some more complex transplants requiring up to 20 or more. When you donate blood, you support lifesaving organ donation!

Special message to our Threads for Compassion volunteers!

Yarn for the blankets we make for our donor families is available for pick up at our headquarters on the first Monday and last Thursday of every month except for holidays.

Reminder: this yarn is available to you at no cost, but if you have your own yarn, please feel free to use it!

The Indiana Donor Network Threads of Compassion program provides comfort shawls to families of donor heroes at the time of their loved one’s donation. The shawls are knitted and crocheted by volunteers across Indiana who give their time to create beautiful, handmade gifts for families as loving remembrances. The hope is that the shawls will bring families comfort in their time of sorrow and transition.

For more information about participating in Threads of Compassion by making shawls, email our team at threads@INDonorNetwork.org.

Tyrese Haliburton doesn’t put his name on just anything, but when he does, it’s because he supports it wholeheartedly. That’s why his support of organ donation matters.

A cause that saves lives, gives hope and creates second chances. 💛
