Jason Ray was the UNC-Chapel Hill mascot killed in 2007 during the Final Four game in New Jersey. Sunday, UNC Hospitals is naming the Transplant Clinic in his honor. When Jason applied for his first driver's license, he checked the box to be an organ donor. Jason's organs ended up saving four men. His parents have been able to meet all four. (WBTV)
