Flags Across America

Flags Across America is a national initiative to honor and celebrate the hundreds of thousands of donors and recipients whose lives have been affected by organ, eye and tissue donation.  It rallies every donor hospital and transplant center, as well as all recovery agencies, to collectively fly the Donate Life flag during April  — National Donate Life Month.

Growing from one person’s idea into a nationwide display of unity, the vision of Flags Across America is to proudly fly a Donate Life Flag at organizations that support the gifts of donation.  This initiative is meant to encourage the public to designate donation decisions by registering their wishes in their state donor registries.  Across the nation, thousands of Donate Life flags are flown and displayed throughout the month of April. 

Additionally, many of our hospital partners have developed Donate Life Flag policies for individual donor families to fly the flag during their loved one’s donation or at a hospital ceremony at a later time.  Some families choose to fly the flag on the birthday of or other significant date for the decendent.  These policies and ceremonies have been warmly embraced by donor families and hospital staff.
