Kaci is an altruistic living kidney donor that jokes that she gave away her kidney at the quick lube. Kaci fell so in love with the transplant through her donation that she went to nursing school and now works for LifeGift in Family Care. Her Your journey from donor to advocate, and from nurse to Family Care Specialist, shows a dedication that goes beyond the ordinary.  Finding a true passion, Kaci turned a selfless act into a lifelong mission, using every avenue she can find to raise awareness for donation. She claims “adult onset athleticism” and has fun spreading transplant awareness through cycling, roller skating, kayaking, and hiking.

It’s not just about the physical activities she engages in; it’s about the message she carries with each pedal stroke, each roll, each paddle, and each step on the trails. She’s not just promoting organ donation; she’s living proof of its impact and the ripple effect of generosity. Her “adult onset athleticism” isn’t just a personal challenge; it’s a platform. Through her blog and social media, she’s inviting others to join in the conversation, to be part of something bigger. Every time she shares her experiences, whether it’s a serene moment on the lake or the thrill of conquering a new trail, she’s also sharing the importance of organ donation. She is living proof that life doesn’t just go on after donation; it thrives.

As she trains for the Transplant Games of America, she’s not just preparing for a competition; she’s carrying the torch for donors and recipients alike. It’s a celebration of life that we’re a part of, and her enthusiasm is contagious. Her story isn’t just about giving away a kidney; it’s about giving others a chance at life, and in the process, finding her own calling.

Her narrative is a blend of humor, passion, and advocacy. It’s about finding joy in the journey and purpose in the path each of us has chosen. Her tale is one of transformation, not just for herself but for the countless lives she touches. She’s a living kidney donor, a nurse, an athlete, and above all, a champion for a cause that’s close to her heart as big as the great state of Texas that she loves!

Dear Potential Sponsor,  

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Kaci Alvarado, and I am reaching out to you from the heart of Amarillo, TX, with a unique and heartfelt request.

As a proud living kidney donor and advocate for organ donation, I have the honor of competing in the 2024 Transplant Games of America in Birmingham, Alabama. This event is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the miracles of modern medicine, celebrating individuals connected to the transplant community.

Participating in the Transplant Games is more than a personal achievement; it’s a platform to raise awareness for organ donation and to inspire others with the message that life can thrive after a transplant. I will be competing in the 20k bicycle race, representing Team Texas Life Warriors, and carrying with me the Panhandle Spirit that embodies our community’s strength and generosity.

To make this possible, I am seeking corporate sponsorships to help cover the costs associated with attending the Games, including travel, accommodation, and other related expenses. Your support would not only aid me in competing but also contribute to a cause that saves lives every day.

In return for your sponsorship, I am committed to promoting your brand as a champion for organ donation and a supporter of the transplant community. Together, we can make a significant impact and showcase the power of corporate social responsibility.

I would be delighted to discuss this opportunity further and provide more details on how we can collaborate for a successful presence at the Transplant Games of America. Thank you for considering this request, and I look forward to the possibility of your support. If you would like to sponsor, please reach out to Kaci at kacialvarado@gmail.com

Warm regards,

Kaci Alvarado
