With over 20,000 people in need of life-saving transplants in Florida alone, Supreme Clientele Travel and Donate Life Florida have teamed up with a new challenge for the state's travelers ... sign up to become an organ and tissue donor and help save millions of lives. Tragically, one-third of the 92,000 Americans currently waiting for life-saving organ transplants could die due to a lack of donors. But effective April 1, Floridians can help change that. Anyone who arranges travel services with Supreme Clientele Travel will be registered with the state's registry as a donor, with the potential to save eight lives and improve up to 50 others.
Supreme Clientele Travel will also donate 30% of all commissions earned to help promote and educate Organ & Tissue Donation.
Donate Life Florida was founded in 1997 through a consensus of all Florida-based donor programs in existence at that time. The primary reason for forming a coalition was to create an entity that could tackle projects that were too big for any one program to take on individually, including implementing national campaigns being offered by the Coalition on Donation.
Donate Life Florida has successfully educated Floridians through a variety of outreach efforts, including Get Carded, a college based campaign; Workplace Partnership For Life, an employer driven program; billboard and movie theatre advertisements and annual visits to the state capitol to educate our legislators about the importance of becoming a donor.
This significant change in recording Floridians' commitments to become organ and tissue donors will be marked by press conferences. Local officials, community leaders, celebrities, and those whose loved ones have donated, received, or are waiting for organs will participate. Specific event details will follow on a separate media advisory.
Choosing to become an organ and tissue donor acquires a new power -- the power to give someone a new life, and to give their families a lifetime of memories."
With the partnership between Supreme Clientele Travel and Donate Life Florida, donor information will be transmitted electronically directly from SCT to Donate Life's online registry. The traveler's decision acts as an advanced directive for organ and tissue donation, and for travelers drivers 18 and older, it does not require the consent of any other person.
