Throughout National Donate Life Month in April, LifeLink of Florida, LifeLink of Georgia, and LifeLink of Puerto Rico partnered with businesses, hospitals, volunteers, and local landmarks to shine a light on the critical need for more organ, eye, and tissue donors. Many organizations and donation advocates supported the Let Your Light Shine Campaign by changing their nighttime visible lighting to blue and green throughout the month, or during National Blue and Green Day on April 22nd.
Blue and green represent the colors of the Donate Life brand, symbolizing the sky and earth, and the way they are intertwined through donation and the circle of life. Across the country 106,000 men, women and children are waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. On average one donor can save up to eight lives through organ donation and may enhance up to 75 through tissue donation. Becoming a donor is a selfless gift that provides a second chance at life to those in need.
LifeLink thanks all partners for their overwhelming display of support. Together we continue to light the way and inspire others to save lives by registering to become an organ, eye, and tissue donor. LifeLink encourages anyone regardless of age or medical condition to register their donation decision with their local state donor registry.
Thank you to the following organizations, businesses, and individuals for letting their light shine in honor of National Donate Life Month!
