The flag, which was signed with personal messages from 30 organ donors’ families at a Donor Remembrance Ceremony held March 22, 2018, at Cooper, will fly in front of Cooper for the month of April.

According to a media release, those assembled also “planted” more than 100 blue and green pinwheels to commemorate organ donors.
