Create Miracles

— Be an organ and tissue donor —


Making the choice of organ and tissue donation will save lives, provide hope, and spare families the needless loss of loved ones. Kansas City is the first city in the country to have a special fountain honoring organ and tissue donors. "Joie de Vivre", created by artist Richard MacDonald, evokes the spirit of the joy of life.
Sculpture donated by:
Nathan C. and Kim Bowen Harbur
John M. Bowen and Nell Bowen
J. Mack and Kimberly Bowen
Miles and Victoria Harbur
Clayton J. Harbur
in honor of Luke Harbur's eight year old organ donor, Aaron Drake. Luke received a life-saving liver transplant in June 1996 at The Children's Mercy Hospital in collaboration with the Liver Transplant Program at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
