Recently, Councilwoman Jane Bonner, who is a kidney transplant donor herself, was a guest speaker during the Stony Brook University Student Volunteer Appreciation Event held at the Shore Club Student Activity Center.
The event was sponsored by LiveOnNY, a nonprofit, federally designated organ procurement organization (OPO) dedicated to saving and changing lives, providing comfort, and strengthening legacies through organ, eye, and tissue donation.
It was established in 1978; and serves a culturally and ethnically diverse population of 13 million residents in Greater New York City, Long Island, Westchester and the Lower Hudson Valley. Go to www.LiveOnNY.org for more information.
