As we celebrate STA’s 50th anniversary, we are looking back each month to remember special moments in time!  In 2015, STA’s Leadership Residency Team welcomed its inaugural class to the Leadership Residency Program. Nearly a decade later, this program continues to grow and evolve to develop strong leaders within our organization!  Stay tuned for more flashbacks to significant moments and memories from our last 50 years of saving lives through donation. 

More than 300 team members passionately serve STA’s lifesaving mission, with an incredible amount of love and support required from their own families and friends. Last week, we hosted a special fall edition of our Friends & Family Open House, where guests learned more about the donation process, heard grateful liver recipient Lisa Barker's inspiring story, and toured our Legacy Center. This event offers our team's loved ones a chance to better understand the “why” behind our day-to-day. The long hours. The passion that drives us. The work we get to do each day. If you would like to join us for one of our next tours, please send us a DM or email events@organ.org!
