Richmond Raiders - Donation Awareness

Because Tyler's grandfather was an organ receipent, when Tyler was in a middle school youth and government program his dream was that people would be educated before they had to make the decision on their driver's license.

The United Network for Organ Sharing--or UNOS-- set up a booth for four raiders games to raise awareness and encourage people to become donors.
