April is designated nationally as Donate Life Month and provides a special opportunity for members of our community to recognize and honor organ and tissue donors and the miracle of transplantation. There are over 106,500 men, women and children on the United States waiting list for organ transplantation, with over 4,900 waiting in Florida and nearly 3,100 in Georgia. The need for organ donors is more critical than ever and hundreds of thousands more could benefit from tissue donation.
We thank you for your consideration and participation in issuing a proclamation recognizing April as Donate Life Month in your county/city. Through public education efforts to increase organ donation such as this proclamation, thousands of lives can be saved and enhanced.
Help us reach your community and celebrate your participation in issuing a Proclamation by sharing the Donate Life message on your social media accounts! Pre-written content and graphics sized for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn are available for download. Don’t forget to tag LifeLink.
Together we are saving lives… one “Yes!” at a time.
