Chris Klug Foundation’s 11th Annual Aspen Summit for Life

The Chris Klug Foundation’s 11th Annual Aspen Summit for Life presented by Astellas, is taking place December 2 & 3rd in Aspen, CO!

It is an event that we believe in for those in need of life saving organ transplant. Participation and donations will help the 119,000 people currently waiting a lifesaving organ transplant today. 22 people die daily due to the lack of available organs for transplant and just one donor can save the lives of eight people.
