CommunityResources

Versiti partners with religious leaders and faith communities in southeastern Wisconsin to elevate the organ and tissue donation conversation. CodeR churches open their doors to hundreds of people, sharing a message of support for families touched by organ and tissue donation.

These churches play a vital role in helping to dispel myths with facts and through frank conversations. We are thankful to partner with so many churches that view organ and tissue donation as an act of kindness and neighborly love.

SODA was established in 2014 as a way for college students to become leaders and increase community support and education for organ, tissue and eye donation. Versiti Organ and Tissue supports universities, colleges and high schools that found and maintain new SODA chapters. 

Benefits of starting a SODA chapter:

• Begin a dialogue about organ and tissue donor registration
• Acquire in-depth knowledge about organ and tissue donation and its associated ethical, biological, social and health aspects
• Join a national network of students who care about saving lives
• Inspire students to create leadership opportunities, participate in SODA programs, and register as organ and tissue donors
• Receive funding, support and mentorship from SODA National and Versiti Organ and Tissue
• Continue to make a difference on campus for years to come
