A Lifetime Donation That Keeps On Giving

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Oct. 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Last year organ donors made more than 28,000 transplants possible. The generous choice made by 16 year old Kasey Burleson alone changed four lives. Kasey's Gift Toy Drive, established in her name, continues to reflect her giving spirit.  Please join the Burleson family along side supporting members of the community for The Sixth Annual Kasey's Gift Toy Drive Saturday November 9, 2013 from 11 a.m. till 5 p.m. located at Target, 6000 Sawmill Road.

Following a devastating car accident days before Thanksgiving in 2005, Mark and Marsha Burleson were faced with the decision of bearing in mind organ donation from their 16 year old daughter. Without knowledge that their daughter had already decided in March of that year, by placing that little red heart on her drivers license that her life would keep on giving. Her kidney and pancreas healed a woman with diabetes. Her left lung helped a man to breath easier. Another kidney helped another man live, and her liver went to yet another critically ill person.

The Burleson Family distributes all contributions to  organizations that work with children in need. Participating organizations include The Salvation Army, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Channel 4, Channel 6, US Marine's, Columbus Firefighters and  Fire Station 27 on Smokey Row which Kasey and her family carried a new bag of toys there each year for children in need.

New toys, articles of clothing or monetary donations may be dropped off Saturday November 9, 2013 between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. in the Target parking lot 6000 Sawmill Road Dublin, Ohio 43017.

If you are unable to attend and would like to help Kasey's Gift,please, contact Mark at 614-204-7772.
