About Dottie
Dottie is a custom-made mascot who will be traveling the state to promote the "Got Your Dot?" campaign at public venues such as parades, sporting events, race/walks and health fairs.
When Dottie is on the scene, she'll be accompanied by organ donation advocates with a thorough knowledge of our current, critical shortage of donor organs. Dottie's escorts will help make people aware of the importance of donation and how they can sign up to be donors themselves.
Dottie is sponsored by WPS Insurance and their ORGANize to Save Lives statewide initiative. Their goal is to get one million more Wisconsinites to become donors by adding an orange dot to their driver's license.
