National Minority Donor Awareness Month
August is National Minority Donor Awareness Month (NMDAM). Its purpose is to save and improve the quality of life for diverse communities by creating a positive culture for eye, organ, and tissue donation.
National Donate Life Month
Donate Life America (DLA) has headlined the National Donate Life Month celebration since 2003. In conjunction with DLA, the nation’s eye banks, tissue banks, organ procurement organizations and other transplant groups celebrate this occasion annually in April, to acknowledge the extraordinary generosity of organ, eye, and tissue donors and their families, and to encourage fellow Americans to follow their example by registering as a donor.
