The organization was formerly known as Save Jon, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>PSC led to the death of NFL football great Walter Payton in 1999 at the age of 45. Payton played 13 years for the Chicago Bears and is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His PSC had progressed too far to allow him to receive a liver transplant. <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Shaw was honored for his outstanding career in organ transplantation. Among his highlights were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Building the UNMC\/Nebraska Medicine into one of the leading comprehensive organ transplant programs in the country;\n<li>Performing hundreds of transplant surgeries for patients with PSC, including such high-profile patients as James Redford, documentary filmmaker, screenwriter, and son of Robert Redford, in 1993, and Chris LeDoux, country singer-songwriter, in 2000;\n<li>Developing Organ Transplant Tracking Record (OTTR) software to ensure patients received better care following their transplants; and\n<li>Publishing a book in 2015, &#8220;Last Night in the OR,&#8221; that was a collection of vignettes illustrating his life and time as a surgeon.<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to Dr. Shaw, other honorees at the gala included: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mike Ditka, legendary NFL player and coach. Ditka coached Payton and has worked to promote new research into new therapies for PSC.\n<li>Cameron and Jared Wohl, who started The Wave Set, an organization dedicated to increasing awareness of the importance of organ donation. Jared Wohl is a soul\/blues singer and songwriter who donated part of his liver to his brother, Cameron, in 2014. Cameron had PSC.<\/ul>\n<p>James Redford was the keynote speaker at the gala, where he also introduced Dr. Shaw. He is founder and president of The James Redford Institute for Transplant Awareness (JRI), a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public about the need for organ and tissue donation through film, educational outreach and the web. <\/p>\n<p>Redford produced two documentaries dealing with organ donation &#8211; &#8220;The Kindness of Strangers&#8221; and &#8220;Flow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bud Shaw, M.D., honored by Curable, an organization dedicated to understanding and curing a rare liver and bile
