Ask yourself…YNOTT?
The Facts.

*Did you know that there are currently 116,000+ patients are awaiting a life saving organ transplant in the United States? Or that 18+ men, women, and children die each day because of the seriousness of this issue.*

*Did you know that approximately 13,000 children are currently waiting for a solid organ transplant, while another 10,000 children are awaiting a bone marrow, stem cell or cord blood transplant? Each year about 4,000 children are successfully transplanted. Unfortunately an equal number do not survive the wait because no match is available.* These statistics will steadily increase without programs like ours.
