BMV Agencies Helping to Save Lives

In April, Lifebanc recognized four local BMVs for their outstanding work on the front lines of organ, eye and tissue donation.  On behalf of Donate Life Ohio, Lifebanc presented the 2010 ”Organ, Tissue and Eye Donation Front Line Awards” to BMV Deputy Registrar locations with the highest organ, eye and tissue donation registration rates or greatest improvement in their BMV District. 

The BMV has a critical role in saving and healing lives by asking the donation question. Lifebanc saved and healed more than 25,000 lives last year, and saying yes at the BMV counter to be an organ, eye and tissue donor is the first step in helping to save those lives. These awards not only recognize the commitment of the BMV Deputy Registrar but the compassion and generosity of the community in which they serve.
