During the month of April, Campus Corps programs throughout the state will be reaching out to their communities to encourage people to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors as part of National Donate Life Month. This year Donate Life America is launching the very ambitious "20 million in 2012" campaign and Campus Corps has come on board to be part of this exciting initiative. Student volunteers will be a part of efforts to educate their communities about the value of registering as an organ donor and will be providing on-site registration for all interested parties. Visit DonateLife.net to learn more about the national campaign and visit Donatelifetoday.com to register yourself as an organ donor if you have not yet done so!
