The Docuseries World Premiere in Wheeling: Special red carpet event that shines a spotlight on organ donation

WHEELING, WV, March 5, 2024 (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — The world premiere of Episode 1 of the highly anticipated docuseries, GIFTED, which follows the inspirational story of Donor Hero, Heather Miller, takes place in Wheeling, WV, Heather’s hometown, on Friday, March 15, 2024 at the J.B. Chambers Performing Arts Center. Tickets are only $15 and include red-carpet photo ops and a Q&A with the filmmakers and the Miller family after the showing. Tickets and more details can be found at www.eventbrite.com or at www.gifted-productions.com.

Episode One follows the remarkable story of Heather Miller who was just weeks away from graduating from West Virginia University’s School of Nursing, when Heather’s family faced the ultimate decision. On life support following a tragic car crash, Heather would want her last act on Earth to be helping others. Honoring her legacy, the Miller Family donated her organs so four people could live on through the miracle of transplantation. It also follows the Miller Family’s journey through grief and healing as they honor Heather by bringing awareness to the issue of organ and tissue donation, and by raising money to fund nearly 200 Nursing Scholarships.

“It was extremely important to me that the Gifted documentary premieres in Wheeling not only because it was the Miller’s hometown, but because Wheeling has given so much to making this lifesaving project a reality”, said Robert Horsey, Creator and Executive Producer of GIFTED. “We’re excited to bring this unique event to the people of Wheeling, Pittsburgh and the entire Ohio Valley.”

The GIFTED Premiere event in Wheeling is proudly sponsored by CORE (Center for Organ Recovery and Education), headquartered in Pittsburgh, who’s mission is to save and heal lives through donation. The evening’s events will be hosted by legendary Ohio Valley DJ, Johnny O from WOMP-FM.

GIFTED: Episode 1 will be in limited release at screenings and film festivals around the country in 2024 and available to stream in 2025. More information can be found at www.gifted-productions.com
