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’re inviting West Virginians to come together as supporters of organ donation. We are reaching out across the state to empower hospitals, businesses, non-profit organizations, and individuals to spark conversation with those around them. We are working together to educate and encourage our family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues to register as organ donors.

Knowing that up to EIGHT lives can be saved by ONE organ donor, WV Donor Day will take place on 08.01. We are encouraging West Virginians to take a moment to register as a donor, knowing they could someday save lives. We ask that you join us in our efforts to increase awareness. Doing so will have a lasting impact on those around us and the place that we call home.
