A month dedicated to encouraging Americans to register as organ donors, and to celebrating those that have saved lives by through donation. Get more resources here.

During Blue and Green Day, the public is encouraged to wear blue and green, hold events and fundraisers, and partner with local restaurants, malls, media, and community organizations in an effort to promote the success of organ, eye and tissue transplantation and the extreme need for registered donors. https://www.donatelife.net/blue-green-day/

At 3pm on Thursday, April 30, the last day of Donate Life Month, LiveOnNY will enlist members of the donation and transplantation community to observe a Moment of Gratitude in recognition of all organ and tissue donors who selflessly gave the gift of life.

Noah Farrelly was struck and killed by a vehicle on December 4th, 2018, just months into his freshman year at Stony Brook University, while out on a training run for the university’s track and cross country team.

The Noah Farrelly Run & Southside Field Day, a community event celebrating the things Noah loved most: running and sports, friendly competition, and bringing people together for a good time with food and music. It’s the sort of occasion Noah would have relished planning for others, and would have enthusiastically participated in himself.

The proceeds from the event will support The Noah Farrelly Memorial Fund, a foundation engaged in charitable and educational projects reflective of Noah’s journey through life and his passing.

The Lap4Life Run/Walk at Chadwick Lake is held to increase awareness about desmoid tumors and work to raise funds for desmoid tumor research and organ donation.

The hope is that the funds raised will be instrumental in finding a cure for desmoids tumors and to improve outcomes for organ donor recipients. https://lap4life.org/

This turnkey event is focused around one goal: to enroll as many willing New Yorkers as possible as organ donors in a single day.

It is a time for congregations to learn about the organ donor shortage, celebrate life and pray for those affected by donation and transplantation.
