Goal: Register 60,000 new organ donors by November 30!

• Each day, 78 Americans receive a life-saving organ transplant, thanks to ordinary people who took a few minutes out from their busy lives to declare their intention to become donors.
• But more than 100,000 people are still waiting for an organ.
• More than 100 people die every week while on the national transplant list waiting for an organ.
