Organ Transplant & Health Awareness

Organ donation saves lives.

Educating students, supporting transplant awareness, and building a community committed to the gift of life.

About Us

Awareness, education, and support.

OTHA is a student-led organization at the University of Michigan dedicated to spreading awareness about organ donation, promoting organ health, and supporting families affected by organ health issues.

Our mission is to engage the campus and wider community in conversations about organ health and the life-changing impact of organ transplantation while giving students meaningful ways to learn, serve, fundraise, and advocate.

Our Three Pillars

Outreach, fundraising, and service.

These pillars guide OTHA's programs and member opportunities.

Outreach

Educate students and community members about organ donation, address common misconceptions, give high-school presentations, and table on campus to encourage donor registration.

Fundraising

Raise support for transplant patients, families, programs, and research through efforts such as bake sales, merchandise, local-business collaborations, and partner campaigns.

Service

Promote organ health through speaker events, patient-support projects, health fairs, awareness activities, and volunteering connected to the transplant community.

What Members Do

Learn, serve, fundraise, and advocate.

Members take part in educational meetings, speaker events, patient-support projects, campus awareness, high-school outreach, fundraising for Camp Michitanki, and Be a Hero at the Big House.
