PRSSA Hosts Fourth Annual Organ Donation Awareness Campaign

Goal is to increase the number of individuals who register as an organ donor.

The Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) at Millersville University is hosting their fourth annual National Organ Donation Awareness Campaign (NODAC) titled Ville Gives Life: Miracle on George Street on April 26. Launched in 2014, this campaign is held annually in the month of April for national donate life month in an effort to promote the act of being a registered organ donor.

Activities for this event will include booths that aim to increase awareness of organ donation, promote the positive impact of organ donation, dispel myths regarding organ donation and end with an organ donation sign up.

“Our ultimate goal for this year is to increase the number of individuals who register as an organ donor at our event by 100 percent in comparison to our total last year,” stated committee chairman Alyssa Mancuso. “Last year, seven people signed up and we hope to more than double that number. This will be achieved through educating students on what it means to be an organ donor.”

Ville Gives Life: Miracle on George Street will take place on Thursday, April 26 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Atrium of the Student Memorial Center (SMC). Free food and giveaways will take place throughout the event.
