Founded in 1996, Organs R Us ("ORU") promotes organ donation
through athletics.
Through creation of educational and awareness programs, ORU supports individuals waiting for organ transplants by
promoting the need for organ donors. To increase the number of available organs, ORU's award
winning awareness programs focus on encouraging family discussions regarding one’s personal wishes about donating
organs and the importance of registering as a donor with state online organ donor registries.
Join ORU as a walker, runner, volunteer (even at 2 am, Ouch!) or organ donor!
In addition to athletic events, health fairs and lectures (lecturers available), ORU
participates in green/recycling events (organ donation is the highest form of recycling). A "Recycle
Yourself" campaign is ongoing.
If you do not give back, no one will like you.
Of 125,000 Americans waiting for organs, 20 die each day before a donor is found. Discuss your wishes regarding organ
donation with your family. Register online to be an
organ donor.
