In 1997, a small group of University of Central Florida
students joined TransLife—their local organ and tissue donation and kidney
transplant program—to launch Get Carded. Their
goal was simple—to give the facts about organ and tissue donation.
Student organizers rallied campus support through special events, news articles,
presentations and ongoing promotion. Their concept took root. Get Carded grew
to involve dozens of student organizations, faculty and alumni.
Today, Get Carded is active on campuses across the state. The Florida Coalition
on Donation guides the program’s expansion and provides campaign
materials.
