We came. We saw. We sang.
05/23/2025THANKS FOR HELPING US LET LIFE SING!
National Donate Life Month each April offers us a chance for us to honor and remember donor heroes, celebrate the lives they saved, and encourage Arizonans to register as organ and tissue donors.
Our goal was to help 600 Arizonans register for the first time as organ and tissue donors to celebrate National Donate Life Month.
Thanks to the help of 173 participating organizations, we saw …
💙 697 new registrations
💚 & 1,626 total registrations and reaffirmations
You read that right! Last month, 697 Arizonans chose to give the gift of life for the first time. That’s a pretty big deal. 👏
HOW WE CELEBRATED
We celebrate Donate Life Month with the support from our volunteers, participating organizations, sponsors and donation champions like you!
Our partner organizations, such as hospitals, churches and nonprofits held registration tables and flag-raising ceremonies with the help of our volunteers—and they worked a record-breaking 449 volunteer hours in April alone! We reached 697 new registrations because of these events.
It didn’t stop there. During Blue & Green Spirit Week, we dressed up our pets, enjoyed some blue and green treats, created Donate Life art, wrote messages of hope, and sported our mission left and right. See more photos of the celebration on Our Highlight Reel.
