We want to continue to remind supporters of this event to reach out to family and friends they are close to and encourage them to participate as well. We will be announcing new events to be held for COTA in honor of Daniel soon for March and April. Thank you all for your steadfast prayers, thoughts, and well wishes.
The 10+10+10 Event will be held for COTA in honor of Daniel Smith, a Little Rock, Arkansas-area young adult who is in need of a heart transplant. The event started Monday February 26th, and will be a Direct Email/Social Media event. 18-year-old Daniel is listed for an Open Heart Transplant at St. Louis Children’s Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. Funds are being raised for COTA in honor of Daniel Smith to assist with transplant-related expenses.
Daniel understands the potential of families and friends working together for the good of others. There is no cost to this event but family and friends are encouraged to participate in the way they feel comfortable.
- Participants are encouraged to go to the COTA website (COTAforTeamDanielS.com) and place a $10 donation that is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
- Email directly 10 family members and friends that are close to you and challenge them to go to the COTA site and do the same.
- We know not everyone may be able to afford to donate but everyone can share the email and direct media sites to inform 10 others of COTA’s commitment to help transplant patients and families like Daniel.
Local volunteers are hoping to raise an estimated $75,000.00 for COTA in honor of Daniel Smith to assist with transplant-related expenses throughout his lifetime. The family and friends of Daniel want to encourage everyone to play a part in our 10+10+10 Event and help give Daniel a chance to serve others in the future. For more information about the 10+10+10 Event, or other fundraising and volunteer opportunities, please contact Greg Scheideman at (501) 551-5333. #COTAHOPE, #COTAforTeamDanielS, #TeamDanielSmith, and #COTAforTeamDanielSmith
