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.

The Shortage (Overview)

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.

Giving the "Gift of Life" may lighten the grief of the donor's own family. Many donor families say that knowing other lives have been saved helps them cope with their own loss. Click on the above title bar to learn more.
