Media & News Resources
Your partnership, storytelling and voice can help us save lives.
Today, more than 100,000 people in the United States - including 10,000 right here in Texas - are awaiting a lifesaving organ transplant. For many, that transplant will not come in time because the number of those waiting far outweighs the available donated organs.
Educating our communities about donation and how to register is key.
Myths and misconceptions about organ and tissue donation are prevalent in our communities. When trusted media partners share the true stories and facts, more people will feel comfortable saying YES to organ, eye and tissue donation!
We’re here to help.
The Marketing & Communications team at STA is here to help you share the stories, interviews and local information your audiences want to know about. Please see the resources below in our media kit, and reach out to us anytime.
