Staff Directory

The entire COTA staff is dedicated to helping children and young adults who need or have had a life-saving transplant by providing fundraising assistance and family support.

COTA has been Giving Hope and Making Miracles since 1986. Since that time, COTA has become the premier organization providing fundraising assistance to families facing a life-saving transplant. Giving Hope … Making Miracles is more than a slogan for the COTA - it is our guiding vision. Families from throughout the country, representing every ethnic, economic, religious, and social background, have worked with COTA. Along the way COTA’s team of professionals and these families have shared tears, conquered huge obstacles, hoped, and, together, have celebrated miracles.

Giving Hope:

“COTA provided hope for our family by showing us that money should not be an obstacle when faced with a transplant … COTA provided hope for our family in the form of encouragement and support to our team of volunteers who worked tirelessly to raise funds for transplant-related expenses.”
