Our mission is to promote public awareness and education about organ & tissue donation in Southern Florida and to assist donor and transplant families.

Share your life

YOU can play a vital role in saving lives. Organ transplantation is one of the most remarkable success stories in the history of medicine. Transplants provide hope for the more than 115,000 people now waiting for necessary organs to save their lives. In addition, hundreds of thousands of lives can be improved with tissue transplants. One donor can save up to eight lives and enhance the lives of up to fifty others with eye, bone, and tissue transplants. Sadly, an average of 18 people die every day waiting for a transplant.

Remember

• Donation is only considered after all efforts to save your life have been made, brain death has been declared by two different doctors, and your family has been consulted.
• People of all ages are potential donors.
• There are no additional hospital or medical charges to the donor family
• All major religions approve of organ donation and consider it to be the greatest gift of all.

Memorial Bell Sculpture

This memorial bell sculpture located at Downtown at the Gardens in Palm Beach Gardens celebrates organ donors and their generosity. Throughout history, bells have been used to celebrate and remember important events and we honor all donors who have given the gift of life to others.
