Events Commemorate Organ Donors

University of Alabama News
The University of Alabama at Birmingham and the Alabama Organ Center are honoring the generosity of organ, eye and tissue donors and their families and celebrating transplant recipients with events throughout April, which is National Donate Life Month.

The AOC’s Alabama Donor Family Quilt, a testament to the selflessness of Alabamians who donated organs and tissues that enabled others to lead healthy, active lives, is on display 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday in the the tunnel leading from the State Representatives Building to the State Capitol in Montgomery through April 30, 2012. The handmade quilt, comprising eight-inch squares individually designed by donor family members, is an emotional reminder of their generosity.
