Southeast Tissue Alliance - Brighten Someone's Life be an organ and tissue donor





	The Share Program Empowering the Community to Share the Positive Message of Organ and Tissue Donation Volunteers are Important! Volunteers are a vital part of Southeast Tissue Alliance in its efforts to raise awareness of organ and tissue donation. The need for volunteers has increased greatly in this fast-growing medical field. The need for organ and tissue donations far exceeds the availability. More than 93,000 individuals are in need of organ transplants and an average of 18 people die each day from the lack of available organs for transplant. Share the Message of Donation The key to donation is knowledge and education, and the Share Program is designed to spread the positive message of organ and tissue donation throughout the Southeast United States. Even when people are aware of the need for organ and tissue donation, they may not fully understand how their wish to be a donor can be fulfilled. Make a Difference in the Lives of Others Education and awareness will help increase donation, and volunteers are vitally important to help spread the message. Volunteers who are recipients or donor family members can bring their personal messages to the public. Other volunteers are individuals who are passionate about organ and tissue donation, and understand the need to educate the public in this area. Share Program volunteers are individuals who selflessly give of themselves to make a difference in the lives of others. Become a Volunteer!
