Christy Hammond, a University of Michigan student majoring in Sports Management, sent along this Public Service Announcement (PSA). By the way, Ms. Hammond is the webmaster of the always excellent blog Behind the Jersey. Check it out. Anyways, back to the PSA:

The winner will be announced during the big football game (in Columbus) on Saturday, November 18.PLEASE HELP US BEAT THE BUCKEYES by going to this webpage: http://www.giftoflifemichigan.org/goblue/ and signing up to save lives through organ and tissue donation.

I actually am already on the list as I signed up last year on the Michigan Secretary of State website when I renewed my driver's license. However, according to Ms. Hammond you can still sign up and participate in this U of M/OSU challenge even if you are already on the list. If you are not already on the list then here is your opportunity. It only takes a moment to do but can make all the difference in a person's life. Plus, Michigan gets to beat the Buckeyes! Go Blue!!!
