Did You Know…

 

Fact: One donor can save up to eight lives through organ donation and enhance up to 50 lives through tissue donation.

 

Fact: There are currently 105,357 people currently on the national transplant waiting list, with another person being added every 12 minutes.

 

Fact:  Signing a donor card and a driver's license with an "organ donor" designation may not satisfy your state's requirements to become a donor. Be certain to take the necessary steps to be a donor and ensure that your family understands your wishes.

Who We Are and What We Do:

 

Founded in 2004 by liver transplant recipient and Olympic snowboarder Chris Klug, The Chris Klug Foundation (CKF) is dedicated to promoting lifesaving donation and improving the quality of life for donors, donor families, organ transplant candidates and recipients. We are a non-profit organization with a clear vision and a passion to tell the story of life saving organ donation and transplantation.

 

The goal of our Donor Dudes program is to educate high school and college aged kids about the importance of organ and tissue donation, and increase the number of people who are taking action.

  

Working with young people across the nation, CKF provides campaign materials and information for “Donor Dudes” chapters in high schools and college campuses. People everywhere are touched by organ donation and transplants, and we want to get the message to everyone. CKF and Donor Dudes are dedicated through our passion for action sports to reduce and eventually eliminate the waiting list for organ transplantation. We need your help!

 

Our message is simple:

      ~Learn the facts about organ and tissue donation

      ~Make an educated decision

      ~Then, share that decision with family and friends.
