Events
Join a Lifesaving Mission
Every event we host or attend brings us one step closer to a world where everyone in need of lifesaving and life-healing transplants receives it. They’re a powerful opportunity to educate, engage and empower Arizonans to say “yes” to organ and tissue donation.

Signature Events
Year after year, our signature events are the heart of our calendar. You know them, you love them, and they’re coming back.
National Donate Life Month, celebrated in April, is a big, month-long party with a purpose. We team up with hospitals, driver license partners, community partners and our volunteers to host flag-raisings, attend registration tables, provide education and ultimately encourage Arizonans to register as organ and tissue donors.

Each summer we call attention to the generosity of donor heroes, their families and all donation champions! It’s usually between 2,000 and 3,000 of us in matching T-shirts to show support and encourage everyone to register as organ and tissue donors. Thousands at the game and viewers from across the country witness Arizona celebrate generosity.
Check back here for information on our 2026 game.
We host registry challenges where school clubs, science and health classes, and many more compete to register the most Arizonans as organ and tissue donors. Students in high schools and colleges across the state have the opportunity to take the lead on this project, educating themselves and others about the generous gift of donation. For more information or to get your school involved, please contact partnerships@dnaz.org.
In this annual, televised parade, donor families, recipients and donation supporters walk the Fiesta Bowl parade route in Central Phoenix with customized posters to honor their loved ones and celebrate their gifts of life. This spirited celebration of donation reaches the hearts of thousands of parade attendees, as well as those watching at home and on social media.
