Donor Dudes
Donor Dudes is a national community outreach program sponsored by the Chris Klug Foundation (CKF), to help educate and raise awareness about the importance of organ donation.
While originally aimed at high school and college students, we invite all community members to host awareness events!
What is a Donor Dude?
Our Goal
With Donor Dudes, we aim to inspire and
educate high school and college students about
the importance of organ and tissue donation.
Through our Donor Dude program,
CKF hopes to educate young people,
and make a difference in people’s lives.
CKF’s mission is to advocate for organ, eye,
and tissue donation and inspire
those touched by transplantation.
Your Role
As a Donor Dude, you will receive all the educational
information and swag you need to host your own event.
Our Toolkits are online educational training, equipped with
fun interactive quizzes and animations. You can take the online courses and present the information you would like to educate your peers about organ, eye, and tissue donation. Help debunk myths about donation!
This volunteer opportunity is a perfect addition to your resume,
a great way to meet new people, and a wonderful chance to help save the lives of people across the nation.
What Events Can I Host?
We have multiple event options for you to choose from. We have four event-in-a-box options for you below. These pre-made events are ready to go! We also will work with you to host and plan your own unique organ donation event. Simply reach out and let us know your idea and we will work with you to devise a plan.

Scavenger Hunt
Lastly, our school scavenger hunt is a good way to get the school up and moving, as well as learn about the importance of becoming an organ donor. You will receive 20 questions and 20 clues to lay at each location. The participants will have to answer an organ donation question to receive their next clue. We will include prizes for the winners and runners-up as well as more fun items.
