COTA for Rose 2024 Songwriter Show
February 27 @ 7:00 pm
COTA for Rose 2024 Songwriter Show – The Franklin Theatre
Fundraiser for COTA for Rose.
Rose Daniel was born January 19, 2022 and 2 weeks later was diagnosed with a very rare and often fatal liver disease, called biliary atresia. Thanks to the gift of a very special organ donor, she received her life saving liver transplant at just 5 months old. Along with this miracle gift, comes a lifetime of transplant related expenses. Rose and her parents have partnered with Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) to assist with these expenses.
To learn more about Rose’s story and to donate go to: https://cota.org/cotaforrose/
The Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) is a not-for-profit national charity dedicated to helping families with their transplant-related expenses and organizing communities to raise funds for COTA. COTA is a 501(c)3 charity, gifts to COTA are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.
