Help Raise Awareness!

$1 Donated from Every Product Purchased!

There are hundreds of tissue and organ donation awareness organizations across the United States that need help in raising awareness for this important cause. Every day, 17 people die waiting for a life-saving organ transplant. These people are just waiting for a second chance at life and we want to help. That is why Angel Cove donates $1 from every product purchased through our store to the Wisconsin Donor Network.


There are so many organizations out there ready to help patients and families who are waiting for this gift of life and have chosen to raise funds for our local organ procurement center as our way of saying "thank you" for our own miracle of a double lung transplant.


The Wisconsin Donor Network is the federally designated organ procurement organization supporting the transplant community in eastern Wisconsin. Guided by an advisory board consisting of members drawn from the community and affiliated transplant centers, the network is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and serves 2.2 million people in a 10-county region, including Door, Kenosha, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha counties.


The Wisconsin Donor Network is also affiliated with the 45 acute-care hospitals in eastern Wisconsin, the transplant programs at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital and St. Luke’s Medical Center, as well as the Wisconsin Lion’s Eye Bank and the Wisconsin Tissue Bank.


In addition to recovering organs for transplant, the Wisconsin Donor Network also provides public and professional education about the tremendous need for organ and tissue donors. It is the region’s primary, most current source of information regarding organ/tissue donation and transplantation.


They are a member of the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations, Coalition on Donation, the United Network for Organ Sharing, and the Wisconsin Coalition on Donation.
