Shine Your Light for Donate Life
Join LifeSource in the Shine Your Light challenge this April, in celebration of National Donate Life Month.
Locally, over 2,700 people are on the organ transplant waiting list. To bring attention to this statistic, we are partnering with hospitals, businesses and other organizations across the Upper Midwest to light up their buildings blue and green.
Are you interested in participating or know an organization or building that may be interested? Let us know! Email info@life-source.org for more information.

Share Your Blue and Green Colors
Here are some ideas below to get started:
- Decorate your house with blue and green lights, streamers, flags and window artwork. Get in on the fun and let your neighbors know that YOU support organ and tissue donation!
- Wear blue and green on April 11 for National Blue and Green Day! By wearing blue and green, you help raise awareness about organ, eye and tissue donation and transplantation.
- Go for a chalk walk. Use sidewalk chalk to share messages about organ, eye and tissue donation near your home.

El poder de la conexión humana
Como parte de la red Donate Life, nuestra campaña pública de toma de conciencia “Marca la casilla” (“Check the Box”) pretende inspirar que las personas se registren como donantes y eliminar ideas erróneas al compartir un mensaje sencillo: que cualquiera puede registrarse como donante y que es una decisión que salva vidas.
