 “We have been honored to support the Dragonfly Transplant Fund golf event since its inception and are so impressed with how the event has grown over the years. Dragonfly has made such a positive impact on transplant patients and their families at the UIHC Organ Transplant Center. We can’t be more proud to be apart of supporting the mission and vision that our Aunt Deb and Uncle Ed have made a reality.” - Rick & Laura Burkamper

Thank you to Peyton for volunteering your time and supporting Dragonfly! We look forward to introducing Peyton to all of our golf outing supporters on Friday, August 16th, 2024 at Blue Top Ridge Golf Course in Riverside, Iowa.
The Iowa Donor Network planned to host its Give Life 5K at Raccoon River Park in West Des Moines on Saturday, May 4th, 2024, but unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans. Ed, Nicole, and Star had already made the trek to the western part of Iowa, so they made a stop at the Altoona Iowa Donor Network office to visit our IDN friends!
 Learning more about IDN operations was valuable as we continue to encourage those we meet to give life and be a positive part of the transplant process. Thank you to our IDN friends for hosting us! We look forward to supporting you as "Team Dragonfly" in your next 5K event! Donor Memorial Garden at Iowa Donor NetworkDuring our visit to the Iowa Donor Network office in Altoona, Monica invited us to brave the rain and visit the Donor Memorial Garden. This garden was opened alongside the office in 2015. It provides a beautiful, calm space for donor families, recipients, IDN staff, and community members year-round.  This place of serenity is special for visitors and is well-known amongst the Iowa Donor Network community. Amongst the beauty of the space itself, it also overlooks a pond surrounded by green space for visitors to find a sense of peace. "While we visited on a rainy day, the garden felt welcoming," shares Dragonfly volunteer, Nicole Schroeder. "This type of space is so relaxing, and when the organ and tissue donation process feels so exhausting, I can imagine the positive effect a visit to this spot would have on any visitor."  In the Donor Memorial Garden, you will find special inscriptions on many of the bricks, benches, and sculptures. These inscriptions are available to the public to be ordered twice per year (April and September). Memories are made here, and they last a lifetime. Learn more about the IDN Donor Memorial Garden on their website.
