Request
BCFI’s strategic vision is to be a leader in adolescent education surrounding
tissue and organ donation through public education. This research shows
that a diverse single classroom intervention can have population-level
impact on future health communities. The story of Brandon is one of
altruistic gifts, and the story of us is yet to be written. Join us (BCFI) on this
mission by your support, endorsement, and/or donation as we create the
best practices to address the healthcare crisis of organ donation.
