From our mountaintops to our riverbanks, West Virginians share one universal truth: We are at our best when we are united as a community.

August 1st is West Virginia Donor Day, and we want YOU to be part of this incredible movement supporting organ donation. Together, we can make a real difference by spreading the word and encouraging our loved ones—family, friends, neighbors, even coworkers—to sign up as organ donors.

Here’s something truly incredible to consider: did you know that a single organ donor can save the lives of up to eight people? That’s why WV Donor Day is on 8/1—a date that symbolizes the incredible potential of saving eight lives by one organ donor.

Whether you’re a West Virginian with a connection to donation, a local business, a non-profit organization, or even a hospital, we have the tools to help you join this wave of change. Together, we can ignite conversations that educate and inspire our community.

Let’s come together on 8/1 to celebrate WV Donor Day and showcase the compassion and unity that make West Virginia truly great!
