Mediaplanet Partners with the American Society of Transplantation, National Kidney Fund and more to Advocate for Organ Donation

NEW YORK, Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mediaplanet today announces the launch of this December's issue of "Transplants: The Gift of Life "This cross-platform campaign raises awareness regarding organ transplantation while encouraging readers to sign up as an organ and/or whole-body donor for the 120,000 people in the United States who are currently waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant.

One organ donor can save up to 8 lives, however, an average of 22 people die every day waiting for an organ. Unfortunately, those outside of the transplant community have little awareness of these facts, and this campaign sheds light onto the impact organ donation has had on recipients while highlighting the very best resources and services that are available for those who need it the most.

The print component of "Transplants: The Gift Life" is distributed within today's edition of USA Today in New York, Los Angeles, the Carolinas, Atlanta, Houston, and Washington DC/Baltimore markets, with a circulation of approximately 250,000 copies and an estimated readership of 750,000. The digital component is distributed nationally, through a vast social media strategy, and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets.
