In the Donate Life America community the butterfly symbolizes hope and new life. Each year during #cornholeforcorneas we take a break from the tournament to take a moment to honor our Donor Families. Cornea transplantation would not be possible without selfless donors and their families who make the Gift of Sight a reality.
