This may have already been posted but it's one of my favorites! I order key chains, green ribbon pins and stickers then hand them out to everyone I can!

Thanks for the link Krisna.
I found that one after my transplant clinic gave me a pin.
I think this was how I found that one shortly after I got transplant #3. My transplant clinic had newsletters in the waiting room.
Transplant Recipients International Organization
http://www.trioweb.org/
They have lots of info on transplants and they have chapters all over! There for a while they were putting out Christmas cards to raise money. I did a google search for TRIO Christmas cards and found a bunch of sites that still had them.

In my area there is an organ transplant support group that has sold some of the products that are posted on the link. I use to have the ribbon magnet for the back of my truck but it fell off. Since the meetings are at night, I can't go to the support meetings. Now I have a place to order another magnet for my vehicle, Thanks.
Also, Medicare gives out free pins that is a green ribbon with a heart. I got this tonight from a myspace group.
