Why Donate?



Organ, eye, and tissue transplants offer patients a new chance at healthy, productive and normal lives and return them to their families, friends, and communities.


Transplantation is one of the most remarkable success stories in the history of medicine. It provides hope to thousands of people active and renewed lives. But transplantation requires the commitment of organ, eye and tissue donors. Unfortunately, the need for donors is much greater than the number of people who actually donate.


More than 100,000 men, women and children currently await lifesaving transplants. Sadly an average of 18 people die each day due to a lack of available organs.
