Our friends at the Transplant Alliance Foundation and Street Bingo recently held their 9th Annual Project Secret Santa event and generously donated $10,000 to support Gift of Life Howie’s House!

Father and daughter duo Ken Lovely and Danielle Bailey, along with support from Kenya Walker and many dedicated volunteers, run the Transplant Alliance Foundation in memory of their mother, wife, and friend, Mary Jo Lovely. Mary Jo co-founded the organization and was an avid advocate for organ donation, a DASH volunteer, and a recipient of two lung transplants. Mary Jo sadly passed away in 2021, and her family and community continue to run the Transplant Alliance Foundation to help raise funds for the House and other causes!

In addition to their recent successful Bingo fundraiser, our friends at the Transplant Alliance Foundation also held a wish-list drive to collect pantry staples for our guests at the House! Ken Lovely and Kenya Walker stopped by this week to donate their items, and we couldn’t be more grateful!

Thank you to Ken, Kenya, Danielle Bailey, and the entire State Street Bingo community for all you do for transplant patients and their families!
