April. It’s when spring blossoms and flowers bloom, and life begins anew. April is also National Donate Life Month. It’s a time when we celebrate the Gift of Life and give thanks to all the donors who have given that gift. We also think of those who are suffering, still waiting for a new chance at life.
National Donate Life Month was established to help raise awareness about donation, encourage Americans to register as organ, eye and tissue donors and to honor those that have saved lives through the gift of donation.
Learn about NDLM events and celebrations, download social media images, web banners, printable materials and more at DonateLife.net.
The best way to celebrate National Donate Life Month is by showing your support for donation and honoring the many donors who have given the Gift of Life. The designs below are all available to help you show your gratitude and support of donation.
All designs are available to you on Amazon.com.
April is National Donate Life Month. What better time to (TED) talk about an innovation in organ transplantation that can potentially eliminate organ rejection. It's called organ perfusion, and it's fascinating what it can do to provide more organs to people in desperate need for the Gift of Life.
JTA is fortunate to be able to offer our Prescription Reimbursement Program to any solid organ transplant recipient who received their transplant at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville. You can receive a one-time reimbursement of up to $100.00 on your prescription medications if you qualify.
For more information and to see if you qualify, go to our Prescription Reimbursement Program information page or email JTA at JaxTransplant@gmail.com.
The State of Florida will begin making the Donate Life specialty license plates if 3,000 vouchers are sold. These specialty plates make it easy to promote organ, tissue, and eye donation every time you're heading to work, going shopping, or whenever you're out! Please order yours today. The cost is just $32.50 if order online.
Sales of these plates benefit Donate Life Florida, the state organization that manages our organ, tissue, and eye donor registry. Donate Life Florida's mission is to educate Floridians about donation and encourage them to register as organ, tissue and eye donors.
Getting a voucher for the new Donate Life license plate is easy. You can purchase a voucher online through the St. Lucie County tax collector’s office. You don't have to live St. Lucie county to purchase the voucher online.
Vouchers can also be purchased at any tax collector's office in person. Many offices are taking customers via appointment only, so please check with the offices in your county for the rules: www.FLHSMV.gov/locations.
Additional information on the plate and voucher process is on the Donate Life Florida website at DonateLifeFlorida.org.
Here are a few things to know:
