On Saturday, October 5th, hundreds gathered at Raccoon River Park in West Des Moines, Iowa, for the Iowa Donor Network Give Life 5K. The annual event honors those who have given the gift of life, celebrates the lives of organ and tissue recipients, and recognizes those who continue to wait for a life-saving transplant.

With beautiful weather on our side, volunteers with Dragonfly Transplant Fund were able to attend the Give Life 5K and showcase Dragonfly as a resource for those in the transplant community 💙💚

Our Dragonfly supporters show us so much love year-round, and we truly appreciate their incredible contributions to our fundraising efforts. Recently, a donor gifted the Dragonfly Transplant Fund two beautiful pieces of art from the late award-winning artist Maynard Reece.

Maynard Reece was based in Iowa, whose work focused on wildlife, particularly ducks. His first piece of art won a blue ribbon at the Iowa State Fair in 1933. He is the only five-time winner of the Federal Duck Stamp competition. During his career, his artwork was featured in national magazines, including Life, Sports Illustrated, and the Saturday Evening PostSports Illustrated. Reece passed away at the age of 100 in 2020. His art lives on through his art and his support of the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation.

We are honored to have these art pieces in our auction at the Dragonfly Transplant Fund 7th Annual Golf Outing & Fundraiser reception this Friday. We hope to see you there!

Why the Dragonfly?

"The Dragonfly symbolizes change and change in the perspective of self realization - understanding the deeper meaning of life. The Dragonfly's scurrying fight across water represents an act of going beyond what's on the surface and looking into the deeper implications and aspects of life."

Our Story

March 2016 Deb Brown was added to the list of those in need of a liver transplant. To qualify for the transplant, Deb had to undergo a series of qualifications, including a current tetanus shot, tuberculosis vaccine, dental screenings, and other various medical testing. July 2016 After 4 months, Deb was listed as "active" on the list of those waiting for a liver transplant in the United States. Deb's condition worsened as it was affecting her daily life - she couldn't eat, she couldn't sleep, and she struggled with her breathing. November 2016 Deb was contacted by the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinic's Transplant Center that there was a liver available to her that matched her needs. With a sense of urgency and long-awaited anticipation, Deb and Ed traveled to Iowa City for the procedure. After the 11-hour surgery, Deb had a new liver. April 2017 The Dragonfly Transplant Fund through the University of Iowa Center for Advancement was born in collaboration with Dr. Reed at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinic's Transplant Center.
