Did you know that 95% of Americans support organ donation, but only about 54% are registered donors? That gap represents an incredible opportunity to make a difference.
The Elks continues its partnership with Donate Life America to promote the donation of organs, eyes, and tissue and to encourage our members and our community to become registered donors.
Every year, thousands of people receive a second chance at life through organ transplantation. Tissue donation helps patients recover from serious injuries and medical conditions, while corneal donation can restore sight. Yet thousands of men, women, and children remain on the national transplant waiting list, and people continue to die because donated organs are not available when they are needed.
Becoming a registered donor is a simple decision that can have a profound impact. One donor can save multiple lives and help many more through tissue and eye donation.
As Elks Members, we have an opportunity to spread the word and encourage others to consider becoming donors. You never know whose life you may be saving.
