San Antonio, Texas, July 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SAN ANTONIO, TX (July 29, 2022) – Today, the Texas Organ Sharing Alliance (TOSA), the organ donation organization for central and south Texas, is introducing a new campaign dedicated to inspiring multicultural communities to recognize the power within them to save lives .

“Everything about this mural and campaign represents who we are as a community and as an organization,” said Joseph Nespral, President and CEO of TOSA. “It’s such a beautiful testament to the power of organ donation and shows that together, as a community, we can transform lives.”
