Apr 10
A National Event for Everyone
Donate Life Flag Raising Day
LifeSource will be live-streaming across our social media channels a flag raising ceremony on April 10. Everyone is welcome join in and raise or show their own Donate Life flag wherever they are – home, clinic, office, etc.
This simultaneous flag raising across the country provides an opportunity for all donation and transplantation partners to come together to:
- Honor deceased donors/donor families and living donors.
- Experiential way to raise awareness of activities honoring donors at hospitals.
- Inspire others to register as a donor.
Why April 10 at 9:08 a.m.?
Donate Life America included a Donate Life flag raising day on April 10, as part of the National Blue & Green Spirit Week. The 9:08 time symbolizes: (1) A new name is added to the wait list every 9 minutes; and (2) 1 organ donor can 8 eight lives.
