Amelia Island, FL – Amelia Island Plantation is a proud sponsor of the 2010 Katie Ride for Life event being held on April 17 on Amelia Island. The cycling event brings together novice to advanced riders to raise funds and awareness for organ donation. Amelia Island Plantation will be offering a special rate of $149 in an ocean-view room (Friday, April 16 – Sunday, April 18) to Katie Ride participants and their friends and family.
“The decision to become an organ and tissue donor is very important,” says Kathleen Giery of LifeQuest Organ Recovery Services, the local organ donor program for northern Florida. We hope that through this event, we can not only provide donor education to the community, but also raise funds for future donor education campaigns.”
