  2. WPFL Diversity Challenge • Commitment • Implement minority special event during National Minority Donor Awareness Day (NMDAD) through our annual Gospel Concert. • Reach out to minority Chambers of Commerce in our region –a total of 5 or more. To engage our Multicultural volunteer committee to help us bring five new partners to the table.

More than 1,000 people attended the event, featured speakers were African American and Hispanic transplant recipients and donor families.
