Our Mission is to provide every young person the factual, clinical materials necessary to make a reasonable and informed decision about registering to become an organ and tissue donor.
About Maddog
The Maddog Strong Foundation, a 501(c)3 charity, was created in the spirit of Maddie “Maddog” Grobmeier who passed away unexpectedly from an asthma attack the day after her 18th birthday. Maddie inspired many by donating her organs and tissues so that others could live on to do amazing things for the world.
This program is available free to educators thanks to the financial support of the Maddog Strong Foundation.
Development Team
The Teach Life Program was developed in consultation with high school and university educators, organ procurement professionals, transplantation professionals, organ and tissue donor families, and transplant recipients.
