Students Save Lives: Gift of Life College Challenge

Gift of Life has partnered with the NODAC to challenge Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) chapters and student organizations in our region to not only spread organ donor awareness, but also register students, faculty and staff  as organ donors. As part of the Students Save Lives Gift of Life College Challenge, participating chapters and organizations will not only be challenged to raise awareness for organ and tissue donation, but will also look to register as many residents as possible during the campaign.

PRSSA NODAC

For more than 20 years, Gift of Life has supported Rowan University’s Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) and sponsors its annual National Organ Donor Awareness Competition (NODAC). This competition encourages PRSSA chapters across the country to promote organ donor awareness and family discussion. PRSSA Chapters create a campaign and host a day-long event to generate awareness among their peers, faculty members and the community. Following the event, chapters submit a binder outlining the planning and the event as it occurred – to be submitted to a panel of judges at Rowan University. Three grand (monetary) prizes, along with an honorable mention, will be awarded at the PRSSA National Conference each October.
