Developed as part of "The Power Of Two's" Outreach and Engagement Campaign The cause , The Daily Gift is the first iPad application focused on sharing organ donation and transplantation stories and inspiring people to become organ donors. Alongside production of the film, "The Power Of Two" crew recorded VideoGrams - short testimonials reflecting on the power of organ donation and the miracle of breath - including over 100 stories from the transplant community at the 2010 National Kidney Foundation (NKF) U.S. Transplant Games. In celebration of National Donate Life Month, "The Daily Gift" features 30 VideoGrams, one premiering each day in April. The app also provides interactive information about organ donation and transplantation, and empowers users to register as organ donors.
