Facts

- More than 100 people die every week while on the national transplant list waiting for an organ
Background
The 2009 National Donation Campus Challenge is a campaign that unites the federal government, the organ donation community, and businesses, organizations, and post-secondary education institutions to educate campus communities on the critical need for more organ and tissue donors and to increase donor registration through statewide donor registries.
Spearheaded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, the 2009 National Donation Campus Challenge recruits partners all over the country to commit to spread the word on the urgency of donor registration.
