Donor Network West is proud to present the 2022 High School Holiday Card Art Contest to help raise awareness about organ, eye and tissue donation. High school students from across northern California and northern Nevada are invited to share their creative gifts by designing an original holiday card depicting this year’s theme:
There’s a Hero Inside All of Us!
Four winners will be selected. The first-place winner will have their artwork featured as the 2022 Donor Network West holiday card and win $500! Each winning student’s teacher will also win a $100 gift card.
There are more than 100,000 people waiting for a life-saving organ transplant across the United States. 1,900 of those waiting are children. Just one donor can save up to 8 lives through organ donation and heal another 75 through tissue donation. You can be a beacon of hope by registering as an organ donor and sharing your decision with your family and friends. Learn more about the impact of donation.
