Educational Initiatives
Organ & Tissue Donation
#IGotThePower is a public awareness curriculum to encourage the need for a conversation about one’s wishes and to encourage registration. To date, this program has been shown to over 120,000 students in New Jersey.
Every day 17 people die waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, and a new name is added to the transplant waiting list every 9 minutes. Currently, there are more than 100,000 people in the United States waiting for a second chance: a lifesaving organ transplant.
Please have a conversation with your family and friends about your organ donation wishes. Register to become an organ, tissue, or cornea donor at the link below.
