Donate Life Today Month
Submitted by Kelli Englehardt
April is Donate Life Today Month, and the campus is looking for your help! Montana Campus Corps is hosting, and partnering with the Governor's Office of Community Service, for a competition pitting all 19 campuses across Montana against each other for the title, trophy, and distinction of the campus with the "most new registrants". A $500 prize will be given to the campus for a donation to a local charity. We will only compete against those campuses which are similar in size to us. Let's even try to beat those large Montana campuses! Please log in to www.donatelifetoday.com/students and click "I need to register" under the "I Love Organ Donors" button. The registration form will allow you to choose Montana State University Great Falls COT as your school from the "I am participating in a Donor Registry Challenge/Event" drop down box. This will allow your registration to be counted in our total number. If you have already registered, but know others that have not, please direct them to the link above. This is a great cause, and you could potentially save a life! All help is greatly appreciated! For more information, please contact Kelli Engelhardt at 771-4334 or kengelhardt@msugf.edu. |
