Step Up to Speak Up Events Use Spoken Word and African-American Greek Tradition of 'Stepping' to Raise Awareness for Organ and Tissue Donation
Date:3/2/2010

Leading up to each event, a donor ambassador will be selected from participating campuses to organize events and educate their fellow students about organ donation and promoting Step Up to Speak Up. While both events are free, tickets will be required for admission.

"I decided to get involved with Step Up to Speak Up to help educate others about the overall importance of organ donation, and more personally, the importance of being an African-American designated organ donor. The opportunity to save a life is the most precious gift you can ever give someone, which is why I decided to become a donor," added Cory Johnson, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Temple University.

Step Up to Speak Up is part of a statewide Donate Life campaign by the Pennsylvania Department of Health through its two organ procurement organizations [Gift of Life in Philadelphia and the Center for Organ Recovery and Education (CORE) in Pittsburgh] to raise awareness for becoming registered as organ and tissue donors within the African-American community.

Statewide retailer Villa is one of the event's sponsors and will outfit the performers while providing participants who attend with coupons and gift cards
