National Multiethnic Donor Awareness Month takes place each August and is a time dedicated to saving and improving lives in diverse communities by advocating for those awaiting a lifesaving transplant and by creating a positive culture for organ, eye and tissue donation.

Throughout the month, LiveOnNY is asking partners to share diverse stories of transplant recipients and heroic donors to show the transformative impact donation has on people and their families. We encourage all to learn more about organ, eye and tissue donation and to have conversations with their loved ones about their wishes. Together we can use our kindness and generosity to improve health outcomes in our communities. For more information visit: LiveOnNY.org/nmdam

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.

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.
