National Events

National Pediatric Transplant Week takes place the last full week of National Donate Life Month in April. It focuses on the powerful message of ending the pediatric transplant waiting list.

National Donate Life Month is a time set aside to honor the generous gifts of organ, eye and tissue donation. It’s also the perfect time to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor and encourage your friends and family to do the same.

August is National Multiethnic Donor Awareness Month! All month long, we will virtually spotlight this initiative with the goal: to save and improve the quality of life of diverse communities by creating a positive culture for organ, eye and tissue donation.

National DMV Appreciation Month is a time to recognize and thank Motor Vehicle Department (DMV) and Driver License Partners for their support and commitment to asking the donation question to their customers every day.

Eye donation month is an opportunity to honor and celebrate the gifts of sight so generously given and received. It’s a time to raise eye donation awareness, honor donors and their families and celebrate cornea recipients.

National Donor Day is a time to promote all types of donation – organ, eye, tissue, blood, platelets and marrow – by participating in blood/marrow drives or donor registration events.
