MISSION/HISTORY
DoT Org (Donation of Tissues and Organs) at UCLA together with Chicanx/Latinx for Community Medicine (LCCM) began as a student initiated effort to educate and increase consciousness within UCLA students and members of the surrounding communities concerning the myths and facts of organ and tissue donation.
DoT Org was initially created under the name of Be Carded in 2000, but later changed its name to DoT Org in 2006. Even though the name of the organization changed, the goals of the organization have remained the same. DoT Org's goal is to raise consciousness and awareness regarding the importance of organ and tissue donation in an effort to augment donor turnout within the inner Los Angeles community. The Los Angeles area hold within itself a boiling pot of minority cultures that would benefit from the information set forth by the DoT Org campaign. With detailed information pamphlets and donor cards at hand, DoT Org hopes to dispel common myths and misconceptions that surround organ donation, and, in doing so, recruit persons who are willing to save lives by donating their organs.
Our goal is to raise consciousness of organ and tissue donation within the community through on and off campus events. With the collective effort of volunteers, DoT Org will reach the community through public health fairs, pre-medical conferences, high school sites, and other general community-based sites in the Los Angeles area.
