EVENT SPEAKER - Laurie Lee,Living Donor, Film Producer
Laurie Lee is the producer of Abundant, a feature-length documentary that premiered in March 2025 and has already been screened more than 50 times nationwide. The film explores the transformative impact of non-directed kidney donation and the cultural dynamics of altruism, introducing living donation to broad new audiences and inspiring potential donors across the country. A non-directed kidney donor herself, Laurie brings more than a decade of experience in transplant advocacy, education, and community support. She co-founded GiftWorks, which has supported hundreds of patients and living donor candidates at the University of Utah Health, and presented its pilot results at the 2024 American Transplant Congress. She also hosts Donor Diaries, a podcast that shares donor stories and expert insights to normalize living donation, and volunteers with Transplant Village, where she helped develop the Donor Champion Program to empower kidney patients to find living donors. Through film, media, and community engagement, Laurie is dedicated to increasing awareness of living donation and supporting both donors and recipients on their respective journeys.
