TITLE
 * Organ Donation
 * Why Donate?

OVERVIEW
 * Our concept is about organ donation. Human beings die everyday because they do not receive the organ donation they require. We believe that the issue of organ donation lacks awareness, knowledge and understanding. Therefore, we want to raise awareness to issues surrounding organ donations. Organ donations can save lives.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
 * Raise awareness
 * Provide facts (such as statistics) in order to aid others in reaching a true understanding of organ donation
 * Help people fully understand the circumstances of becoming a donor
 * Help people make more informed decisions when they receive their health cards
 * Inform people about the benefits to society
 * Shed light on inadequate number of organ donors

AUDIENCE
 * Of all ages because it is not age that determines whether you qualify to give organs but the quality of organs
 * Anyone who is not aware of organ donation
 * Anyone that has not made a decision about whether or not they want to donate their organs
 * Anyone that is unsure about the facts surrounding organ donation

KEY MESSAGE
 * We all have organs that can save lives
