What you can do to help
There are more than 100,000 people across the nation who are waiting for life-saving organ transplants. Another name is added to the national waiting list every 9 minutes. You can help by working to increase awareness about the importance of organ donation.

Other ways to get involved
Driver’s education
When you renew your license or ID Card, you can register to be an organ donor. For teen drivers in Wisconsin, driver’s education instructors are required to provide 30-minutes of organ donation education. This education provides teens with accurate facts about organ, tissue and eye donation so they can make an informed decision when they go to the DMV to get their permit or license.
Donate Life Month Resources
Any day is a good day to promote organ, tissue and eye donation, but there are special days and months with messages and materials that make it easier to get the word out. We’ve built a toolkit to help you in your work to save more lives. Please download and share these messages through your community, workplace, place of worship, clubs and organizations, neighborhoods, family and friends.
