Mission Statement
LifeLink Foundation is a non-profit community service organization dedicated to the recovery of life-saving and life-enhancing organs and tissue for transplantation therapy. The Foundation works in a sensitive, diligent, and compassionate manner to facilitate the donation of desperately needed organs and tissues for waiting patients, support research efforts to enhance the available supply of organs and tissue for transplant patients, improve clinical outcomes of patients post transplantation and works closely with the United Network For Organ Sharing (UNOS) to support its goals.
Description
LifeLink volunteers reach out to the community, spreading the word about the importance of organ and tissue donation and educating people about how to sign up to become a donor. Some of our most impassioned volunteers include donor family members and transplant recipients, such as Faustino Rosario (pictured right), who received a heart transplant.
Examples of ways you can get involved include:
- medical community outreach
- participation in health fairs
- public speaking
- administrative projects
