| 释义 |
Students for Organ Donation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting organ donation awareness and registration. Active in the United States and Canada and run entirely by students, the organization actively recruits college and high school students to establish chapters at their own schools. Chapters hold regular events to educate people about the need for organ donation, dispel misconceptions about the issue, and give them the means and incentives to register as an organ donor. The mission of Students for Organ Donation is to promote organ and tissue donation awareness on campus and in the surrounding community. Students for Organ Donation focuses on providing educational development regarding organ and tissue registration by: educating individuals about the issue, encouraging individuals to register as organ donors, and giving them the means with which to register. In 2005, the organization was awarded the "Youth Education Award" from Donate Life America, for outstanding efforts to promote organ donation awareness among youth. It was also awarded a $10,000 Do Something BRICK Award and $5,000 Goldman Sachs Global Leaders Social Entrepreneurship Grant to fund expansion. References
