The Sarnia Organ Donor Awareness Group is a
non-profit organization dedicated to promoting awareness of the need for
organ donation through education, awareness and exposure in the community.
Our main goal is to spread awareness of the need for organ donation and to
provide support for organ transplant patients.
As well, we give to Transplantation Research
(Robarts Institute) and University Hospital our regional transplant
center, both of which are located in London. In addition, we respond to
individual requests from recipients and individuals on waiting lists.
There are over 1200 people in Ontario waiting for organ transplants.
Through education, awareness and exposure we hope to show the community
the vital need for organ donation. To view Facts and Information,

We are strictly a volunteer group and rely on
donations from service groups, corporations and individuals for our
operating funds.
