MEET CASANA

Casana Fink, a Master of Business Administration student and a graduate from the University of Florida with a Bachelor's Degree in Telecommunications, is an accomplished author, entrepreneur, and non-profit founder. Recognized as Volunteer of the Year in 2022, she serves as a Donate Life Florida ambassador and was nominated for Donate Life America's Pinnacle Award. Her book, "The Gift of Life," emerged from a societal reluctance to discuss donation with children. Through anthropomorphism, she shares her family's story, making the topic relatable to children of all ages.

During her time at UF, Casana was involved with various organizations including the UF Dazzler Dance Team, National Society of Leadership and Success, IGNITE, Danza Dancers, and continuously advocating for organ and tissue donation on campus. She started her non-profit, Give to Live, a decade ago and presently serves as an ambassador for Donate Life Florida, LifeQuest Organ Recovery Services, More Transplants More Life, a member of the Gainesville Jr. League, and actively contributes to causes such as Action Against Hunger, Gr8 to Don8, and advocating for legislation that benefits the transplant community. She devotes hundreds of hours each year volunteering for these initiatives.

Casana is also the Chief Operating Officer at More Transplants More Life, where she oversees six programs that are directly impacting the organ donation community. Additionally, she owns two businesses, further showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit and dedication. After studying fashion at the CondΓ© Nast College of Fashion and Design in London, Casana gained valuable experience working in New York City alongside renowned Vogue Editor and shoe designer, Tabitha Simmons. Drawing from her industry insights, she returned to Florida to establish her own clothing brand, The Unverified.
