Blue Sky Couriers honors and supports the children in our communities with the company’s “Couriers for Kids” initiative. Most recently, this support came in the form of a $500 gift to Donate Life Tennessee, the organization supporting organ and tissue donation across the state, in honor of pediatric organ donor heroes and transplant recipients.
“Tennessee Donor Services is one of our country’s leading organ donation organizations," said Kevin Peirne, Blue Sky Couriers regional operations manager. "Blue Sky Couriers is honored to be their trusted partner in the life-giving process, transporting tests and organs. As a responsible corporate citizen, we feel it’s important to give back to the communities we serve and that’s why we started the Couriers for Kids initiative. We are proud to give and support their great work."
During the check presentation at the weekly BNI Nooga Exchange meeting in Chattanooga, Mr. Beirne said he was particularly moved by the story of Grayson Meadows, the 4-year-old boy who died from injuries suffered in the April 2020 tornado in Chattanooga. Grayson was an organ donor, and a virtual honor walk was held for him at Erlanger Children’s Hospital at the time of his donation.
“Support from partners like Blue Sky Couriers enables Tennessee Donor Services to fulfill our mission to save and improve lives through organ and tissue donation,” said Dawn Benjamin, TDS External Affairs coordinator. “We deeply appreciate Blue Sky’s generous donation as we work together to provide hope and healing to those in need of live-saving transplants.”
