This is a project started by my high school Anatomy teacher. Our goal, is to inform people about organ donations. Did you know 19 people die each and every day while waiting for an organ transplant? We want to lower that number. We are presenting our first few projects in the next two weeks. Our target is ultimately teenagers, around the time they receive their license. We need to inform everyone that signing their name on the back of their license just isn't enough.
We are selling wristbands to raise profits for this cause. Wrist bands can be purchased.

After witnessing his aunt's 8 year wait for a kidney transplant, Richard Ludlow decided to start a national student-run not-for-profit, Students for Organ Donation, to promote organ donation awareness and registration. Their original campaign at Yale University was run by more than 50 volunteers, and registered an astounding 1,100 plus students as organ donors. Over time, students from more than 20 universities joined the effort. Richard won a BRICK Award in 2005.

Joshua Muller won a 2004 BRICK Award for his work with Donate Organs Adolescents and Grownups (D.O.A.G.). After his brother, who was an organ donor, died in a car accident, Joshua was inspired to educate his Indiana community about the importance of organ donation.
