Observed every year on February 14th, National Donor Day is dedicated to celebrating organ donors and spreading awareness and education about organ, eye, and tissue donation.

Make sure you are registered as an organ donor, if you know someone who is affected by transplantation – reach out to them. And if you want to support a transplant patient – make a donation to the American Transplant Foundation’s Emergency Fund. 100% of your gift will go directly to transplant patients. National Donor Day is also a day to recognize those who are currently waiting for a lifesaving transplant, and those who died waiting because an organ was not donated in time.
