Farewell Kidney Fundraiser for Kaitlin O'Connell

After finding out that her father is in need of a liver transplant, Kaitlin immediately took it upon herself to go through the testing to become his donor. Unfortunately, she wasn't a match for her dad but became familiar with a family who's father was in need of a kidney transplant. A husband with three young kids, fighting for his life and his family. While most people would find this heartbreaking, Kaitlin did more. She volunteered herself to go before doctors and through testing and was finally able to tell this family she would be their match! While we all applaud Kaitlin's selflessness, we also want to be there to support her through the process. She'll be undergoing surgery on October 21st and out for recovery for several weeks following. Let's come together and make sure Kaitlin doesn't have to worry about a thing as she gives the gift of life!

A special thank you to Kenny Ricker and The Luxury Box for hosting on behalf of Kaitlin and providing a great location, apps and more! Join us on Oct 16th at 6 pm for drinks, live music from Danielle Lessard and most importantly, to rally around Kaitlin as we celebrate this amazing cause in honor of an even more amazing person.
