Your purchases and painting of OPI's Taylor Blue nail polish helped spur conversations around town and on social media about organ donation.

Increasing official organ donor registries is just the beginning of their purpose. They work to change the conversation about organ donation to a positive one by focusing on life. The Taylor's Gift team hosts events, delivers speaking engagements, provides scholarships to graduating seniors and encourages grassroots fundraisers like the Paint It Forward initiative.  Their mission is to educate audiences about organ donation and the gift each of us has within to "Outlive Yourself."

The Limelight: Taylor's Gift

Taylor's Gift Foundation is a Coppell-based non-profit organization that encourages organ donation. The foundation was formed in honor of 13-year-old Taylor Storch of Coppell who died in a tragic accident last March while skiing with her family at Beaver Creek during Spring Break. Taylor helped five people with the gift of her organs. Now Taylor's legacy lives on through the inspiration of her foundation.

Many people think they are organ donors when in fact they are not. Why not make sure, by following the donor process and seeing if you are registered.
