February 14 is the 11th Annual National Donor Day!

There are 105,00 people in the U.S. need of organ transplants. Each organ and tissue donor saves or improves the lives of as many as 50 people.

Each day, about 77 people receive organ transplants. However, 19 people die each day waiting for transplants that can't take place because of the shortage of donated organs.
