Posted on by

We’re pleased to announce the winners in our “Show and Tell” us why you’re a tissue donor photo contest. We were touched by the entries and had a difficult time choosing our winners, but here they are:

First Place and winner of the Kindle Fire goes to Jon K. Congratulations, Jon!

We had two Second Place winners who each won $25 Gift Cards to Amazon.com. Congratulations to Scott H.

and Tracy P. 

and last, but certainly not least, our Third Place winner of a FiftyLives Gift Basket is Joe R.

Thank you to everyone who entered. Taking a stance to be a tissue donor is such a caring and wonderful gift to others.

    Show and Tell: Why Are You a Tissue Donor?

    Posted on by

    We’re excited to announce a new FiftyLives contest that will help spread the word about tissue and organ donation. PLUS, you get a chance to win a Kindle Fire, Amazon gift cards, or a gift basket of FiftyLives gear.

    Here’s how the contest works:

    1. Make a sign (or download and print this one) and write the reason you’re a tissue donor in just 5 words.
    2. Snap a photo of yourself with your sign.
    3. Go to our Facebook Photo Contest tab.
    4. Enter yourself for a chance to win!

    We can’t wait to see all of your faces and reasons in support of tissue donation.

    Once you’ve entered, we hope you’ll share your photo with your Facebook friends, too! You can also add your photo to your Facebook timeline “Life Event” (the date/year you registered as an organ/tissue donor). What a lovely way to show everyone why tissue and organ donation is important to you.

    We’ll be accepting entries through July 15, 2012. See official rules on our contest tab. What are you waiting for? Make your sign, take your pic, and enter for your chance to win!

      We Have a Winner (Share Your Gratitude Contest)

      Posted on by

      FiftyLives asked you to share stories of one person and one incident, gesture, or gift that you’re truly grateful for. For our Share Your Gratitude Contest, we received many touching entries telling us about devoted spouses, attentive friends, special neighbors, and generous family members who made your lives better in some way.

      A number of those stories stood out for their emotional appeal, writing style, and tie to the mission of FiftyLives. We had a tough time selecting just one entry to win the grand prize of two iPad 2s. That being said, our top choice is …

      Rachelle Henthorn of Sydney, Ohio

      We featured her entry in a post last week, expressing gratitude and love for her friend Tina. A few years ago, Tina lost her 10-year-old son Michael in a car accident. Rachelle talked about Tina’s decision to donate her son’s organs to help others.

      She has faced so many losses and difficult times in the years I have known her but she remains a gentle spirit and a loving friend, wife and mother–and recently Grandmother! In the spirit of what your organization stands for I would say Tina embodies who anyone would be grateful to have in their lives.

      We are thankful to Rachelle and all those who shared their stories of gratitude with us. We’ll continue to feature more of our favorites, and look forward to hearing from Rachelle and Tina when they receive their prizes. Happy holidays to all of our supporters!
