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 few toolkits 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. Anyone age 15 or older can register to be a lifesaving hero at heroicdeed.com.

National Donate Life Month was established by Donate Life America and its partnering organizations in 2003. Each April UW Health and hospitals across the nation pause to focus on local, regional and national activities that encourage Americans to register as organ, eye and tissue donors and to celebrate those that have saved lives through the gift of donation.

Many of us share our gratitude for donors throughout the year, but during Donate Life Month UW Health asks you to pause a moment to honor organ and tissue donors. You can access our Donate Life month toolkit to thank donors and their families, and to help others learn more about the importance of registering as an organ, tissue and eye donor.
