Observing Donate Life Month with Annual Organ Donor Awareness Walk
Each April, Donate Life America leads National Donate Life Month, an observance focusing national attention on the need and importance of organ, eye and tissue donation.
National Donate Life Month is about the importance of registering your decision to be a donor, honoring deceased and living donors, and celebrating the lives they saved. It is the generosity of donors and donor families that makes saving lives through transplantation possible.
- CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs is hosting their annual organ donor awareness walk on Tuesday, April 16, 2024 at 12pm. Anyone interested in participating can meet at the flagpole at the front entrance and join them for a short walk.
- CHI St. Vincent North is having their first donor memorial ceremony on Thursday, April 18, 2024 at 6pm at the Arkansas Neuroscience Institute Lobby/Auditorium.
This year’s them is Donors are SuperStars. It was inspired by the night sky and the billions of stars that make up the universe. Stars remind us that even in the darkest night, there is light. Your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor gives hope and light to the 100,000 people on the national transplant waiting list who are waiting for a second chance at life. That’s why donors are superstars.
