AMASavesLives experienced another successful year! After officially launching in February 2010, AMASavesLives is able to report extreme growth in all areas during 2010-11 thanks to the 100+ AMA chapters who were involved. 

What did you help accomplish in addition to increased awareness of organ donation and AMASavesLives?

ü      You helped register 7,000+ new organ donors

ü      You created 1,000+ YouTube videos with 170,000+ views

ü      You posted 7,000+ messages on Facebook, Twitter, and our Blog

ü      And most importantly, you reached out to other organizations on your campus and in your community to spread the word about this AMAzing project.

Don’t forget, just because school is over doesn’t mean AMASavesLives is, many competitions run through May 31^st. So continue to create videos, submit event summaries and post on our social media pages. 

Future of AMASavesLives? Many of you asked us at the 33^rd International Collegiate Conference if AMASavesLives would be continued next year. AMASavesLives is excited to announce the project will be funded for the next two years (2011-2013). Details will be announced later this summer, so make sure to include AMASavesLives in your chapter’s plans for 2011-12!

AMASavesLives needs your help! As a follow-up, AMASavesLives needs your feedback on the project’s success so we can find additional funding. You may have recently received an email asking you to complete a short survey about the project. If you have not already filled this out, please do so as it is important for the future of this program.

Finally, you can continue to make a difference and help AMA share life with the 110,000+ patients on the transplant waiting list by sending people to www.AMASavesLives.com!
