The University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville are organizing the 22nd annual Gift of Life College Challenge to encourage people to join the Kentucky Organ Donor Registry. The competition between the two schools aims to register the most people as organ donors, with both campuses organizing various events and initiatives to raise awareness and increase sign-ups. The challenge has been successful in inspiring thousands of individuals to join the registry since its inception in 2001. The organizers emphasize that the competition has no losers, as every registered organ donor provides hope for the 1,000 Kentuckians in need of a transplant. The challenge will conclude with a trophy presentation at the Battle of the Bluegrass men’s basketball game in December.
