We are so happy to have partnered with you and allow our students to help you out while learning!

Melissa Meyer and Tracie Cook were at WASC yesterday (WI Assn Student Councils) and talked with many High School and Middle School students about organ, tissue and eye donation, also including living donation. 💙💚
Melissa and Tracie stressed the importance of talking about this with family before going to the DMV.

This was a huge connect to purpose moment as this group represented the Student Organ Donation Advocates, a chapter program for Middle/High School/Colleges. 50+ schools sent delegates.

This was the calm before the storm - lol, as they talked to many more students and enjoyed the opportunity to connect our mission to the students! Many used the photo props (hopefully a few will make it into the yearbook)! 🙂.

Thank you Melissa and Tracie!

Hope you’re ready for your main character moment… 🎬

Because this weekend, everyone is going to be a VIP at WASC State Conference! 🤩
