The federally designated organ procurement organization for Central and South Texas hosted a tree dedication April 2 at Crockett Park with San Antonio Parks and Recreation. The dedication brought together donor families, volunteers and community members to honor donors’ legacies.
The organization, which partnered with KSAT Community in February and March to debunk myths and misconceptions during the “Donors Opting Out” town hall, said community education and donor registration remain critical to saving lives.
The Texas Organ Sharing Alliance (TOSA), founded in 1975, is one of 56 federally designated organ procurement organizations (OPOs) in the United States.
TOSA is committed to a mission of saving lives through the power of organ donation by providing organ donation and recovery services to Central and South Texans wishing to donate and for those waiting for a life-saving organ transplant.
