All Campus Party seeks to acknowledge and embrace the diversity of campus by bringing both individuals and organizations together to celebrate our common bond... our love for the UW!

What is the Green Ribbon Event?
This
event was run in conjunction with National Donate Life Month during the All
Campus Party week at the University of Wisconsin. The Organ &
Tissue Donor Foundation - UW-Madison Chapter, networked with
fraternities, sororities, residence halls and other student
organizations to promote organ and tissue donation.
3500
small plastic bags containing seven green ribbons were distributed
across campus. Students were instructed to tie one ribbon around their
wrist and not take it off until they talked with their families about
donation. The other ribbons were to represent their kidneys, liver,
pancreas, intestine, heart and lungs (technically, you can donate two
lungs and two kidneys) and should be “donated” to someone with the same
instructions.
Pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey
Our Bucky's State Fair event was a "pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey" styled booth. In place of a donkey and tail with pin, we had a mannequin and organs with Velcro. The booth was a great success. Green Mardi Gras beads were given away as prizes to all participants. The beads had a tag attached with organ donor information and instruction about how they can "donate" some of their beads (representing organs) to friends.
Brochures, green "Donate Life - Dona Vida" wristbands, orange dots, lapel pins, Mardi Gras beads and lots of information were given out at our Bucky's State Fair booth (above). Bucky Badger and a student try their hand at transplant surgery pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey style (right).

April is National Donate Life Month
Despite continuing advances in medicine and technology, the need for organs and tissue is vastly greater than the number available for transplantation. You can make a difference by becoming a member of our group, inspiring others or participating in one of our programs.
