Donate Life America Celebrates National Donate Life Month this April Donate Life America celebrates this April as the 10th annual National Donate Life Month. Originally a weeklong observance, it was officially recognized as a monthlong event in 2003. The celebration commemorates those who have received or continue to wait for lifesaving transplants.

“While increasing the number of registered organ, eye and tissue donors that save and heal lives is part of our daily work,” says Aisha Huertas Michel, spokesperson for Donate Life America “this month serves, not only to honor the lives of those who have given and received, it is also an opportunity to renew our commitment to saving lives.”
There are now nearly 110 million registered donors in the United States. Still, the number of people in need of transplants continues to rise. The solution to this problem is to continue educating the public about the lifesaving effects of donation and transplantation and get them to make their decision known by signing up through their state donor registery.
