Tennessee County Clerks Organ Donor Awareness Foundation
The Foundation was created in 1986 when local clerks realized the urgent need for life-saving organ and tissue donors and found a way they could help. Clerk staff across Tennessee help save lives every day when they ask their patrons to donate a dollar to organ donor awareness. Their work has collected over 10 million dollars in the past 25 years, desperately needed monies that fund public awareness campaigns throughout the state.
The Foundation's role in the donation process is a partnership that is continuously evolving. From collecting donations to help fund programs, encouraging residents to become organ and tissue donors, distributing educational literature and promotional supplies in their offices, and now to registering residents as donors when they renew their driver's licenses--in addition to the many tasks they face daily--clerks and staff alike go above and beyond in their work toward the day when no one will die waiting for an organ transplant.
To the Tennessee County Clerks and staff, we thank you for your on-going support and for making a difference in the lives of Tennesseans. You truly do make a difference in helping us save lives!
