STUDENTS FOR ORGAN DONATION

High Schools and University students can help promote organ donation by joining Students for Organ Donation, a student-run nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting organ and tissue donation awareness and registration.

Students for Organ Donation chapters are being established in high schools, community colleges, and universities in the United States and Canada and seeks to empower students to make a difference in a growing international public health crisis: the shortage of vital organs and tissues.

To request materials for organ donor drives in your school or university, contact info@donatelifenm.org or call 1-800-843-7672
