Consider approval of a proclamation naming the month of April 2013 National Donate Life Month and authorizing the mayor to sign.
Summary
City of Coppell's Taylor Storch, who passed away at the age of 13 while skiing on vacation; her parents decided to donate her organs. Taylor's organs have made an extraordinary difference for five people in need, who now live full and healthy lives; and inspired by the restorative impact of the decision to donate, the Storch Family established The Taylor's Gift Foundation to increase organ donation to Regift Life, Renew Health and Restore Families by increasing organ donor registries and helping those touched by organ donation in the United States. Coppell citizens are encouraged to learn the facts about organ and tissue donation, consider signing up for the State's registry, and talk to family and friends about their decision. Information and resources about how to get involved are available at www.TaylorsGift.org
