Mission: The Chris Klug Foundation (CKF) is dedicated to promoting lifesaving organ and tissue donation and improving the quality of life for those touched by donation. Through our programs we reach tens of thousands of young people each year, equipping them with facts about organ donation so they can make educated decisions. We are increasing the number of organ and tissue donors by focusing on these messages:- Learn the facts about organ and tissue donation - Make an educated decision at the Division of Motor Vehicles - Discuss your decision with your family and friends

Programs: Distributed over 3,000 free educational videos, "know the facts, share your decision" to high schools all over the country. Student volunteers held 25 "donor dudes" events at high schools and college campuses in 20 states. We work hard to raise awareness about organ and tissue donation through partnerships with and participation in many high-profile events such as espn winter x-games, nyc marathon, leadville trail 100 mtn bike race, vans warped tour and, our own, "summit for life" race up aspen mountain. For the first time we honored 2 remarkable individuals and organ receipients with the "bounce back award" recognizing recipients who have given back to the transplant community.
