Organ Donation and Resource Links

Give the Gift of Life

It all begins with education. We all know that we are born, live our lives and at some point, we die.

There are some circumstances that we realize are possible, if unlikely, that we go way too early. It is the responsible, loving and kind thing to do for us to make our donation decision now - sparing our family or loved ones that decision in a time of great loss and anguish.

Give the Gift of Life;

1. Let you loved one know that you desire to pass life on as an ORGAN DONOR. Easter and Thankgiving, when the family it together, is an great time to "sign 'em up!"

Why Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation?

• 123,102 people are waiting for an organ
• 18 people will die each day waiting for an organ
• 1 organ donor can save up to 8 lives

                    More statistics and figures

Minorities have a far lower rate of donation yet their need is just as great - we are all the same in God's eyes!  Overcome your cultural limits, register and advocate for organ donation in your community!
