National Awareness Campaign Highlights Donate Life Month

Crandford Patch
While New Jersey Organ and Tissue Sharing Network (NJ Sharing Network) works to educate New Jersey residents year round about the critical need for more organ and tissue donors, the month of April, associated with renewal and spring, is also National Donate Life Month. The awareness month honors the generosity of organ and tissue donors and their families and commemorates all transplant recipients. As part of this year’s awareness effort, NJ Sharing Network, in collaboration with Donate Life New Jersey and Donate Life America, will host the first annual National Donate Life Blue and Green Day on April 20, 2012.

National Donate Life Blue and Green Day aims to radically increase the number of people registered on state donor registries by drawing attention to this life-saving decision on both a local and national stage. New Jersey residents are encouraged to wear blue and green on April 20, 2012 and post their pictures on Donate Life New Jersey and Donate Life America Facebook pages for a chance to win prizes and to further build momentum for the awareness campaign.
