Donation myths and misconceptions stop people from signing up to be organ, eye and tissue donors and many of the myths come from Hollywood. You can help save lives!

In 60-90 seconds, debunk one or more of the common organ donation myths such as:
  • Money and fame can get you an organ faster.
  • Doctors are more interested in your organs than saving your life.
  • You can sell an organ to make money.

In 60 – 90 seconds, inspire your viewer to go to our website and become an organ, eye and tissue donor
  • All major religions believe in organ, eye and tissue donation.
  • Over 200,000+ people are waiting for a live-saving organ.
  • One donor can save up to 8 lives through organ donation and heal thousands more through eye and tissue donation.
