Twin Cities Miracles for Life Event

Miracles for Life, a non-profit organization providing people a “second chance” through education, organ and tissue donations and the Miracles for Life Youth Transplant Camp, will host their first Twin Cities Miracles for Life event at Pinstripes in Edina on Thursday, Oct. 20 beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Denny Mahoney, executive director of Miracles for Life, is enthusiastic about this event because of the lives it can save. His passion stems from his own transplant survival because he knows what these patients endure.

“This event will open your eyes and warm your hearts with courageous stories of tireless efforts from every person involved. I’m continually amazed by what people can overcome and the battles they have to fight. One night of fun for our guests could mean the world to one of our patients. It’s really remarkable.”
