Galt-Arno Cemetery District

The Donate Life flag has become a national symbol of unity, remembrance and hope, while honoring those touched by donation and transplantation. Giving the gift of life is one of the most selfless legacies a person can leave behind. The concept of a flag raising is to make a unified statement about the importance of donation and represent the great need for donors and encourage people to register as a donor. We are proud to be able to participate in this event and bring awareness to our community. Thank you for providing the flag. Sierra Donor Services
