The week of April 20 through 26 was designated as "National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week" (NOTDAW). Many organizations participated in activities to help raise awareness about the dire need for organ, eye and tissue donation.
The entire staff of Intermountain Organ Recovery System (IORS) would like to take this opportunity to thank the following organizations for their help: Utah Hospital Auxiliary Volunteers who participated in NOTDAW activities at more than 30 hospitals throughout Utah; the Public Relations Student Society of America at Brigham Young University for its campus activities during NOTDAW; the University of Utah, Weber State University and Utah State University for publishing articles about the need for organ, eye and tissue donation in their campus newsletters; the University of Utah Hospital, Primary Children's Medical Center, LDS Hospital, VA Hospital and McKay-Dee Hospital for sponsoring events during NOTDAW.Alex McDonald,
