💚 Support Organ Donor Awareness with CYCA 💚

CYCA is selling Organ Donor Awareness shirts, with orders due by February 10. This cause is especially meaningful to our community, inspired by staff member Bridget Flick, who is currently on the transplant list, and CYCA alum Kyle Hall, who has received a kidney from Sarah Kilpatrick — the mom of CYCA President Alivia Kilpatrick. 💚

If you’re interested in learning more about becoming a living donor for Bridget, please visit:

We invite everyone to wear green for our Green Out on Tuesday, March 3 to show support and awareness.
