Community Support For Jersey Day For Organ Donation
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 2015 is JERSEY DAY
JERSEY DAY is a simple concept designed to raise awareness of The Organ and Tissue Authority and the DONATE LIFE network.
On September 4 we are asking schools and workplaces across Australia to allow students and employees to wear their favourite sporting jersey to school or work to show their support for the DONATE LIFE network and begin the conversation with their friends and families about organ donation.
JERSEY DAY has been inspired by the story of NATHAN GREMMO who was tragically lost in an accident in May 2015. Nathan’s family chose to give the gift of life to others to honour the legacy of Nathan’s generous personality.
This campaign is all about raising awareness – we are not raising funds for this event. Simply wear your favourite sporting jersey to school or work on Friday September 4 and show your support for this cause.
