Butler County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office Earns Gold

According to a press release from the Kentucky Circuit Court Clerks’ Trust for Life (TFL), Butler County Circuit Court Clerk’s office earned gold status in the 2019 Legends Campaign, which the TFL sponsors. Beginning on January 1, 2019, the goal of the initiative was to educate Kentuckians on the importance of organ and tissue donation. In 2019, Kentucky Circuit Clerks offices were galvanized to find innovative ways to educate their communities on joining the organ, tissue, and cornea donor registry. All Kentucky counties went above and beyond in their efforts have been recognized for their generous efforts, thus earning gold status.

In the press release Melissa Cardwell, Butler County Circuit Court Clerk stated, “the Kentucky Circuit Court Clerks’ have supported this mission since 1992. With more than 1,000 Kentuckians waiting for a lifesaving transplant, we know this education is needed more than ever...Each day in America, 22 people lose their life because an organ did not come in time. If someone I loved needed a transplant, I’d certainly want them to receive it. We are honored to educate our community that everyone is welcome to join the registry. Every ‘YES’ is a symbol of hope to families in need.”

Executive Director of Kentucky Circuit Court Clerks’ Trust for Life and Vice President of Strategic Partnerships of Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, Shelley Snyder shared, “Butler is commended for going above and beyond to help residents understand that everyone can ‘Be a Legend’ by registering as an organ, tissue and corneal donor. There are no limitations. Everyone is welcome to join the registry.”

All citizens are invited to help their Circuit Court Clerk in the 2020 Legends Campaign by getting involved and registering as a donor at www.donatelifeky.org.

“I am so proud of my team for reaching gold status, but we work so hard because we want to help families. We want to save lives – that is our mission” Cardwell said.
