I’m Morgan D’ Organ, the mascot for Donate Life Illinois, the coalition of organizations in Illinois supporting organ & tissue donation. Currently, I’m working towards increasing the state’s organ/tissue donor registry to at least 6 million. In other words, I rock.
I'm usually out and about at organ donor registration drives, starring in some fun videos and otherwise educating others about the importance of donation.
Did you know that 4,700 Illinois residents and more than 107,000 people nationwide are waiting for lifesaving transplants? Also, as a registered donor, you can help save and enhance the lives of more than 25 people. A pretty powerful outcome for just lending a moment of your day to register.
Join Morgan D’Organ on tour this summer!
Morgan’s fresh from mascot training and on a mission to register organ/tissue donors. This summer, Morgan is making appearances at events and festivals throughout Illinois as part of the “End the Wait Tour.” Morgan and team will be registering donors and bringing attention to the more than 4,700 Illinoisans currently waiting for a life-saving organ/tissue transplant. Follow Morgan’s tour on the map.
