When thinking about whether you want to be a tissue donor, you may wonder how your religion frames the issue. For more than a decade, the weekend in November two weeks prior to Thanksgiving has held a special significance as the National Donor Sabbath. This weekend’s goal is simple: To help you think through the decision-making process to become a donor.

A time to consider donation

National Donor Sabbath is an opportunity for the leaders within your religious community to speak with you about being an organ and tissue donor.

The need is great as is the reward — you have an opportunity to positively impact 50 lives with your decision.
