"Few things are more precious than the life-saving or life-altering gift of an organ or tissue transplant. It's the kind of gift that can change the course of someone's life, and it can provide hope," said Ronnie Savion, co-founder, executive vice president and creative director for Elias/Savion Advertising. "At Elias/Savion, we are proud to partner with CORE in their ongoing efforts to increase the donor registry, and we are excited to develop a creative campaign that will help tell CORE's compelling story."
CORE works closely with donor families and designated health care professionals to deliver the gift of hope by coordinating the surgical recovery of organs, tissues and corneas for transplantation. CORE also facilitates the computerized matching of donated organs, tissues and corneas. With headquarters in Pittsburgh and an office in Charleston, West Virginia, CORE oversees a region that encompasses 155 hospitals and almost six million people throughout western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Chemung County, NY.
"At this very moment, approximately 8,000 people are in need of life-saving organ donations in Pennsylvania. In West Virginia, another 800 remain on the waiting list," said Susan Stuart, president and CEO of CORE. "We've partnered with Elias/Savion so that we can bring hope to those on the waiting list by reminding people of the critical need to become an organ donor. We are certain that Elias/Savion's creative solutions will help us achieve this important objective."
