💚 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.

CYCA's district-wide cause to raise awareness and funds for this year is Organ Donation Awareness. We will take part in a green-out Tuesday March 3rd. This year's cause is inspired by staff member Bridget Flick, who was put on the transplant list last July due to her stage 4 kidney disease. If you are interested in being a donor, please see this link- http://livingdonorsluh.org/ The cause was also inspired by Cobden alum Kyle Hall, who was put on the transplant list October 2024 and has stage 5 kidney disease. Proceeds from shirt orders will go to the National Kidney Foundation. Below is the t-shirt we are selling to raise funds for the organization. The winning design was created by students Rae Cash and Lucas Aguirre in Art Club, and then brought to fruition by Tony Phillipe with Silkworm. Forms are due by Tuesday Feb. 10th. Forms will also be sent home with students. You may also fill out and print this form, or shirts can be purchased from this link- https://shopsilkworm.com/cobdenhscyca
