The purpose and objective of this project is to eliminate the long waiting list and to make organ transplants affordable to all people, District 6110 will become a test, to see if we as Rotarians can educate our district to the growing and critical need for organs and tissue for transplants. It is our hope and intent to start a grass roots movement night here in District 6110, that will spread into other Districts and that all the American People will accept organ donation as a way of life,

How can we as a District of 77 Rotary Clubs initiate this project?

The check box for organ donor on drivers licences has proven to be insufficient. First and foremost, the next of kin are often unaware of the deceased's wishes during the brief critical time when emotions are also high. Having previously made the donor's decision known through the Rotary Organ Donor Awareness Program will reduce the stress of making such a decision when time is so critical. It is also intended that an organ donor database will result from this program, providing another new tool to help assure donor's wishes to help others are fulfilled.
