For some of our neighbors, the best gift this holiday season might come from a stranger. It won't come in a box wrapped in pretty paper and curly ribbon. And the magnitude of this most precious of gifts will make any other presents they've ever received seem insignificant.

For four weeks, Gateway Newspapers is featuring a series on organ donation. Our hope is that readers take time this holiday season to consider becoming a donor. A donor registration form that you can download, complete and send to CORE is provided below.
