The Illinois Secretary of State’s office offers license plates to promote donation in honor of Chicago Bears' great Walter Payton, whose struggle with rare liver cancer and the need for a transplant generated national attention to organ donation. What’s more, purchasing the special plate helps provide funds for donor education throughout the state.
