Donate your Body to Research
Become an Organ/Tissue Donor
In the United States there are currently over 120,000 individuals waiting for an organ transplant. Every year, thousands die waiting for a transplant because a compatible donor could not be found.
You have the power to change this.
Many life-saving procedures are only possible through generous donations from organ and tissue donors. Whether you donate while still living or register to donate after your death, you are offering hope and a brighter future to many individuals and their loved ones. One organ donor can save up to 8 lives. Many more can be saved or improved by also donating tissue.
