Bodies… The Exhibition Shows Some Heart To Donors On National Donor Day – Organ Donors To Receive $10 Discount February 14
Valentine’s Day is a day to give sweethearts and loved ones gifts of chocolate and teddy bears, but it is also a day to give the most precious gift of all – the gift of life. As part of its ongoing effort to be one of Las Vegas’ premier sources of health and wellness information, BODIES… The Exhibition will show its love and appreciation to current organ donors by giving $10 off entrance to the Exhibition February 14.
According to OrganDonor.gov:
• Almost 95,000 people are in need of an organ for transplant
• Approximately 35,000 children and adults in our country have life-threatening blood diseases that could be treated by a marrow/blood stem cell or cord blood transplant
• Every two seconds someone in America needs blood, more than 39,000 units each day, according to the American Red Cross
There are several ways to be proactive and help people who are in desperate need of organ or tissue donation: fill out an organ and tissue donation card and register with the State Donor Registry, join the National Registry of potential volunteer marrow and blood stem cell donors, donate blood, and most simply, let family members know about the intention to be a donor.
Described as a “life-changing experience,” BODIES…The Exhibition is one of the most fascinating and educational experiences in Las Vegas. The real human bodies have been meticulously dissected, preserved through an innovative process and respectfully presented, giving visitors the opportunity to view the beauty and complexity of their own organs and systems like never before.
The $10 discount is only available February 14, 2010, and organ donors must present their ID with proof of donation to the Luxor box office when purchasing a ticket. Regularly priced tickets are $31 for adults, $29 for seniors and $23 for children 4 – 12 years of age. The Exhibition is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. with last admission at 9 p.m. It is recommended that children 12 and under are accompanied by a teacher or parent as an adult guide.
