Embrace the Gift of Life
Celebrating National Donate Life Month
Every April, our nation recognizes National Donate Life Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation. This month-long event encourages Americans to register as donors and honors those who have selflessly saved lives through the gift of donation.
Why Donate Life Matters
Organ, eye, and tissue donation is nothing short of extraordinary. It offers hope and a second chance at life to individuals in need. Whether it's a life-saving organ transplant, restoring vision through cornea donation, or improving the quality of life through tissue donation, every donation can profoundly impact.
