Donate Life Month
Register to be an organ, eye, and tissue donor.
Donate Life Month is a national movement each April dedicated to providing education about organ, eye, and tissue donation, while encouraging donor registration to save and heal lives.
This year’s Donate Life Month theme is Leave a Legacy. It reminds us that just like trees, our donation community grows stronger together connecting donors, recipients, and families in ways that last for generations.
More than 100,000 people are waiting for a lifesaving transplant. Transplants rely on the generosity of organ, eye and tissue donors, and there are not enough donors to meet the need.
You can help by registering to be an organ, eye, and tissue donor.
Then, talk with your family about your decision to register as a donor. By sharing this news with family, you create your legacy and ensure your wishes are respected.
Let’s spread hope, inspire change, and make a difference, together!
