To celebrate April as National Donate Life Month, AMASavesLives is encouraging all American Marketing Association chapters to hold events during the week of April 26-30th as part of AMASavesLives Week.

What Are Some Great Ideas for AMASavesLives Week?

• Have members shoot videos about the event and send to family and friends (you can find a sample email message at AMASavesLives.com)
• Seek permission to send everyone on campus an email with the AMASavesLives.com link, message, videos, etc.
• Set up a booth in your student union for the entire week and have people sign up to become an organ donor, to become a Facebook fan, and shoot short videos
• Put up flyers across campus about AMASavesLives Week and to drive people to your AMASavesLives table
• Visit large classes (and smaller ones) to generate awareness and table traffic
• Submit an article to your college/local newspaper (either one from the AMASavesLives website or one that you create)
• And any other great ideas you might have!…Make sure to share them with everyone else by posting on the AMA­SavesLives Blog, Facebook, and Twitter

Besides Saving Lives Are There Any Other Benefits?

Absolutely, in addition to valuable professional development and community service experience, large and small chapters alike will share approximately $8,000 in prizes from the Collegiate AMA for:

• Number of Videos Submitted
• Best Video Competition
• Best AMASavesLives Week Activities
• Number of Organ Donor Registrations Generated
