EXPLANATION: Donate Life America is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and motivating the public to register as organ, eye and tissue donors. The organization provides education regarding living donation and manages the National Donate Life Registry. Donate Life America and the Donate Life Community have registered nearly 145 million organ, eye and tissue donors in the United States.
By becoming an organ, eye and tissue donor, one individual can save and heal the lives of more than seventy-five people. During National Donate Life Month, we honor the compassion and generosity of registered donors, donor families and living donors and recognize the commitment of researchers, innovators, champions, national partners and medical professionals who work tirelessly to save and heal lives through transplantation.
