Game Notes:

• Nevada finishes the 2024 season 3-10 overall and 0-7 in Mountain West play following Saturday’s 38-14 loss at UNLV.

UNLV uses student plaza to advocate for an urgent need in Nevada

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — UNLV turned its student union plaza into a push to save lives as Nevada faces a need for organ donors.

University police and Nevada Donor Network hosted “Dogs, Donuts and Donate Life,” using K9 meet-and-greets and free donuts to get students and staff to stop by, learn about donation, and sign up on the spot.

“Partnering with police agencies, our first responders, is important here during Nationals April’s Donate Life Month because we can spread awareness about organ, eye, and tissue donation together as a trusted community source and also answer any myths or misconceptions, questions people might have about the donation process here in our community,” said Samantha Savalli of Nevada Donor Network.

People can register at the DMV.

According to Nevada Donor Network, more than 100,000 Americans are waiting for an organ transplant right now including more than 700 people in Nevada. More than 1.6 million Nevadans are already registered as organ donors, but the need is still urgent.
