RIS to Celebrate Purple Day in Honor of Elle Haley

Dress in “PURPLE DAY” will be held at Westfield’s Roosevelt Intermediate School on Friday, April 12^th to raise awareness for COTA (Children’s Organ Transplant Association) in honor of 14 yr. old Elle Haley who recently had a Liver Transplant.  An 8^th grader at Roosevelt Middle School, Elle was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis the first week of June 2012. While waiting for an organ donor, Elle became critically ill with Sepsis and was hospitalized at Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital in NYC in July, where they determined that she needed a transplant as soon as possible. On August 7^th, Elle received 35% of her dad, Drew’s liver.

The “PURPLE DAY” fundraiser will encourage every child to donate a dollar to COTA in honor of Elle. They will each receive a yellow “Making Miracles” circle that will be displayed on a bulletin board with their name on it. 

COTA is  giving hope and making miracles for Elle and kids like Elle all over the U.S. that need Organ, Tissue, or Stem Cell transplants. So…everyone dress in purple on “PURPLE DAY” and honor Elle and all transplant recipients!

Join our “FAMILY FUN RUN” to raise awareness about COTA (Children’s Organ Transplant Assoc.) in honor of Elle Haley at Oak Ridge Park in Clark, NJ on Sunday, April 28^th from 8:30am to 12:00pm. For more information email Barbara Callahan at brokerbmc@aol.com
