A local woman is turning downtown Orangeville green through her organ and tissue donation awareness campaign for “BeADonor” month.
For the past three years now, Amaranth Lions Club member, Michelle White, with the help of her fellow Lions, has displayed green ribbons on lamp posts and trees along Broadway, which is a symbol of support for organ donation.
This year, Orangeville businesses have gotten on board and are displaying the green ribbons in their windows, with some of them including personal messages of support. Dufferin OPP and paramedics are participating as well.
The campaign was started in 2017 by White’s father, a heart transplant recipient who wanted to pay forward his gift of life by encouraging others to register for organ donation.
