TO THE EDITOR:

Five years ago, Jason Ray’s life came to an abrupt end. Jason, UNC’s beloved Rameses mascot and a 21-year-old senior, was killed by a car while in New Jersey for an NCAA tournament game.

Jason had indicated on his driver’s license he wished to be an organ and tissue donor. As a result, he saved nearly 50 lives. One recipient remarked, “Jason Ray had a big ol’ heart. I know because I have it.”

As a part of Donate Life Month, Carolina Donor Services and the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy are sponsoring their third annual UNC Donate Life Concert. The event will take place Sunday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on McCorkle Place.

Music will feature The Lawn Darts and UNC a cappella groups The Loreleis, The Walk Ons and The Achordants. The event is free and everyone is welcome to attend.

Join us as we celebrate life, spring and friends, and as we remember those whose selfless actions impacted the world. Show your UNC pride and enjoy free food and live music. We look forward to seeing you there.
