We are hosting out third annual Jeeps for Indiana Donor Network Ride scavenger hunt on September 30th, 2023. IDN helps link those in need of organ and tinnue transplants to donors. They also provide education to thise wanting to become donors and support to donors and their families afterwards. There are currenlty over 1200 individuals on the waiting list in Indiana, 1,116 patients received an organ in 2022. This is a cause near and dear to us as we have event organizers who have been on both sides of this, as adonor family and as a recipient. Our goal is to increase the awareness and need for individuals to sign up and to be an organ and tissue donor. We have raised over $16,000 in our first two years of our ride, which IDN uses to continue to educate about organ donation as well as sending aid to those in need during their transplant journey. All proceedds from the event will be donated directly to IDN. 

Our scavenger hunt is going to include items found throughout the Vigo Couinty and the surrounding areas as well as stops at amny local businesses. This is a family friendly event. IDN will be there to provide education about the donation process and ways to they can help as well as signing up individuals to the donor network. We will also have some speakers on the transplant side the process as well as myself who received a heart in 2020. We will have a silent acution, 50/50 drawing and over event shirts for sale. Local vendors will be present. The event will start at 9:00 with registation followed by our speakers. Participants will take off at 11:00 and return at 4:00 to conclude our event.
