organ donation has. On Tuesday, April 13th, PRSSA members will be hosting several outdoor

Elizabeth Ludwig, President of Susquehanna Univerisity’s PRSSA Chapter, stated, “This

campaign at its core is meant to inform everyone about the truth of organ donation and dispel the
myths. The truth is that one person can impact so many lives through organ donation.” She
indicated how this campaign aims to reduce the organ “waiting list”.

April is National Donate Life month which allowed PRSSA’s Organization to capitalize on the
opportunity to raise awareness for the ability to save a person’s life. Life should not be a waiting
game.
