Chris Klug Foundation
The Chris Klug Foundation Mission is to “Promote lifesaving donation and improve quality of life for donors, donor families, organ transplant candidates and recipients.” The need for donors is so great, as thousands of people are waiting for the life-saving and life-enhancing gift of donation. Together, let’s eliminate “The Wait.” Share your decision with your family! CKF is working hard to share the message of donation, and the impact a single person can have for so many. We are also focused on assisting donors, donor families, recipients and their families as they prepare and recover.
Our goal is to share the donation message to the world’s youth through action sports and our grassroots program titled “Donor Dudes.” With the help of college and high school students and campus outreach clubs we will work towards establishing “Donor Dudes” chapters on every high school and college campus in the world. Learn how to become a “Donor Dude!”
Chris Klug is a liver transplant recipient (July, 2000) and the first ever transplant recipient Olympic Medalist (Salt Lake City, Utah 2002 Snowboarding). He continues to race on the FIS International World Cup Tour. Chris is active in the donor awareness effort, speaking all over the country.
The Chris Klug Foundation Board of Directors consists of donor families, transplant recipients, medical professionals and transplant community partners. All sides of donation are represented. The Chris Klug Foundation is a 501 © 3, not for profit, public organization founded in 2004. Thank you for your support!
