On Monday, November 8th the Fashion Institute of Technology hosted their first ever Give Life Event at the college in the John E Reeves Great Hall. The purpose of the event was to raise awareness about the importance of being a registered organ donor. Kristin Molini, a recent recipient of a five organ transplant shared her story of her struggles before and after her transplant. Julia Rivera and Maria Torres (also a transplant survivor) from the New York Organ Donor Network also spoke about the critical need for registered organ donors as New York has one of the lowest percentages of registered organ donors.
