Donor Network West Celebrates

National Donate Life Month

National Donate Life Month is celebrated each April to recognize and honor the generosity of those who have saved lives by becoming organ, eye, and tissue donors. This month-long observance is also an opportunity to encourage more Americans to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors. In honoring the incredible Gift of Life of the selfless donors, we also celebrate the families and friends of donors who have supported their loved one’s decision to donate.

2025 National Donate Life Theme

Let Life Sing!

In 2025, let life sing! Birds are known across many cultures as one of the most welcomed and visible signs of spring. They represent both new beginnings and visits from loved ones who have passed away. The yearly return of birds and their songs offer us a sense of peace and hope.
