Discovery Life Channel to Recognize Everyday Heroes with 'The Lifesaver Project'

Discovery Life Channel announced today it will continue its commitment to MAKING LIFE BETTER, an ongoing public awareness campaign that promotes health and wellness initiatives, with the launch of THE LIFESAVER PROJECT. Beginning with August, the network will recognize one "lifesaver" each month - someone who is going the extra mile to make life better in their community. Whether it's an organ donor, a CPR expert, an encouraging sponsor, a resilient child or a valiant Good Samaritan, Discovery Life Channel celebrates the everyday heroes who do the extraordinary. Nominators have a chance to pay it forward to a lifesaver who has impacted them, and winners will receive a $1,000 prize for themselves and a matching $1,000 donation for a charity of their choice.

"In a world where we're constantly surrounded by the negative, THE LIFESAVER PROJECT is Discovery Life Channel's way of shining a positive light on do-gooders among us whose altruistic acts of kindness often go unnoticed," said Jane Latman, general manager of Discovery Life Channel.

To nominate a Lifesaver, visit discoverylife.com/lifesaver-project/. One lifesaver will be selected each month and will receive a $1,000 Visa gift card and $1,000 donation to the charitable organization of their choice.
