Campaign for Teens Highlights 16- and 17-year-olds’ eligibility to register as organ/tissue donors. More than 11,500 teens have registered since Jan. 1.

Secretary of State Jesse White unveiled a new ad campaign today highlighting the Jan. 1, 2018 law allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to register to become organ/tissue donors during his annual kick off of National Donate Life Month in April.

“Teenagers are making a difference across the country,” White explained. “They are making their voices heard, and people are listening. Here in Illinois, they are expressing their intention to help others when they sign up to become organ/tissue donors. So far this year, more than 11,500 young people have registered. We are proud of these young people and their efforts to help others and save lives.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
