In Illinois, 6 million people are registered as organ/tissue donors, yet there are approximately 5,000 people waiting for transplants. According to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), in Illinois last year, there were 1,187 African-Americans on the waiting list, but only 138 African-Americans became donors.

Illinoisans can register with the Secretary of State’s Organ/Tissue Donor Registry online at LifeGoesOn.com, by calling 1-800-210-2106 or by visiting their local Driver Services facility.”
