About National Donate Life Month
National Donate
Life Month (NDLM) was established by Donate Life America and its partnering
organizations in 2003. Celebrated in April each year, Donate Life Month is a
dedicated time to encourage Americans to register as organ, eye, and tissue
donors and to celebrate those that have saved lives through the gift of
donation.
