Organ Donor Stories

In cooperation with the University of Wisconsin Organ Procurement Organization, WAPA is encouraging members to have in their offices an Organ Donor Story Display.  There are two displays, one featuring a donor's story, and one featuring a recipient's story.  The idea is to use these in PAs offices to get the conversation started about organ and tissue donation.  These displays are available free of charge to members (order the inserts only, there is a small charge for the brochure holder display but these can be purchased at office supply stores inexpensively or you may already have some in your office).  For more information contact Kim Shefchik, PR Committee Chair.  To order donor story displays or brochure holders go to Order Form for Donor Story Display.
