Alpha Sorority Launches Yearlong Drive To Register 1,908 Organ Donors, Hosts Transplant Panel
USA: A local chapter of a historic sorority is mounting an ambitious, yearlong campaign to register 1,908 organ donors to honor its 1908 founding, culminating in a public educational panel focused on transplantation. The initiative centers on dispelling myths about organ and tissue donation and procurement, mobilizing community action, and connecting potential donors with information and registration resources. Organ donation and transplantation are framed as lifesaving interventions in need of broader community understanding and participation.
The one-hour panel, set for Saturday, January 10 at 12:00 PM at South Wind High School, will bring together a cross-section of voices from the transplant world: a living kidney recipient, a liver transplant recipient, a double-lung recipient, a parent who donated a child’s organs, a representative of the MidSouth Transplant Foundation, and a medical professional to moderate the conversation. Panelists will describe the human impact of donation and transplantation, the pathways from donor registration to successful transplant, and practical steps families and individuals can take to support donation.
Organizers emphasize outreach and education as core tactics for the campaign, planning community events, social media engagement, and partnerships to break down cultural and informational barriers. The public is invited to attend the free event to learn how donor registration works, why procurement protocols protect donors and recipients, and how one registration can ripple into multiple lives saved. The chapter frames this effort as both a tribute tied to Founders Day and a sustained push to increase donor registrations across the region.
Attendance is open to anyone seeking credible information about donation and transplantation. The campaign’s combination of firsthand stories, medical expertise, and grassroots outreach aims to transform curiosity and concern into concrete registrations and greater community support for organ and tissue donation.
