February 14th is National Donor Day, an observance day originally designated in 1998 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to raise awareness for organ, eye, tissue, marrow, platelet and blood donation.
Why is it important to Donate Life?
Every 10 minutes, another person is added to the waiting list.
22 people die each day waiting for a transplant.
One organ, eye and tissue donor can save and heal more than 75 lives.
Please register today to be a donor and help save lives!
