The Circuit Court Clerk offices in 59 Kentucky counties received a celebration in the form of popcorn as a special “thank you” gift for their donation rates in support of the Kentucky Circuit Court Clerks’ Trust For Life (TFL).

The counties receiving the popcorn gift from TFL had a $1 donation rate of 50 percent or more during April. Counties showing a 10 percent increase from March to April received recognition as well. National Donate Life Month, a special time to celebrate helping others through organ and tissue donation, is celebrated in April.

These are the 53 counties with a $1 donation rate of 50 percent or more -- Anderson, Ballard, Barren, Boyd, Breckinridge, Butler, Caldwell, Calloway, Carlisle, Carroll, Clark, Clay, Crittenden, Cumberland, Daviess, Fleming, Floyd, Gallatin, Garrard, Grant, Hancock, Harland, Harrison, Henderson, Henry, Hopkins, Jefferson, Johnson, Kenton, Knox, Laurel, Lincoln, Livingston, Lyon, Magoffin, Marion, Mason, McLean, Morgan, Oldham, Owen, Powell, Rockcastle, Russell, Taylor, Trigg, Trimble, Union, Washington, Wayne, Webster, Wolfe and Woodford. The six counties showing a 10 percent increase in $1 donations from March to April of this year are Bracken, Estill, Hickman, Logan, Madison and Menifee.

The Kentucky Circuit Court Clerks’ Trust For Life (TFL) is a 501c(3) non-profit organization that informs, educates, and encourages Kentuckians to be registered organ and tissue donors to save lives. TFL was founded in 1992 as the charitable arm of the Kentucky Association of Circuit Court Clerks. Melissa Cardwell, Butler Circuit Clerk, serves as Board President.

The $1 donations at Circuit Court Clerks’ Driver’s License counters and other philanthropic partners, including KODA and Kosair Charities, fund the statewide community outreach and public relations efforts to grow the Registry. Kentucky was recognized by Donate Life America for highest increase in Registry rates in 2016.

Cardwell said she is grateful to all those across the state who have been so generous. “We couldn’t carry out our public education programs without the wonderful contributions from those who support the mission of organ donation while visiting their local Circuit Court Clerk offices,” says Cardwell.
