During National Donate Life Month in April, we honor the people who have given the gift of life through organ, eye and tissue donation. We also celebrate the lives that have been saved and healed because of a donor’s generosity.
This year’s theme uses trees as a symbol of life and connection. Just like trees grow and support each other in a forest, donation connects people – donors, recipients, and their families. Like a tree that grows and stands for generations, a donor’s gift leaves a lasting legacy of hope and life.
Your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor gives hope to the 100,000 people on the national organ transplant waiting list who are waiting for a second chance at life.
During National Donate Life Month (NDLM) and throughout the year, join us in helping save and heal lives by: registering your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor, learning more about living donation, and supporting the Donate Life cause.
Get out in your local community and on social media to help us honor donors, recipients, and their families and caregivers.
