Do us a favor, pull out your State ID or Drivers License. Is there a little red word that reads DONOR?
April 15 was, National Donate Life Blue and Green Day, a day designated to promote the success of organ, eye, and tissue transplants and the need for people to be registered donors.
Every year on April 15th, Donate Life raises awareness for National Donate Life Blue and Green Day.
According to the Donate Life Website, nearly all people who are registered to be donors do so when they apply for a renewal or new drivers license or State ID card.
Statistics show that 124,000 men, women, and children are currently awaiting an organ, eye, or tissue transplant.
For the first time, the Grand Rapids Motor Vehicle Department, owned by the Occupational Development Center, took part in promoting the benefits of being a registered donor.
Donate Life’s mission is: To drive individuals, organizations and communities to increase the number of designated organ, eye, and tissue donors who save and heal lives.
