Support the Transplant Games 

The Transplant Games of America are much more than an athletic competition. They serve as a powerful beacon of hope, bringing together transplant recipients, living donors, donor families, and supporters from across the nation to honor the gift of life and celebrate second chances.

By making a financial contribution to the Transplant Life Foundation, you help keep this event accessible to everyone in our community, ensuring that financial barriers never prevent athletes, donor families, or supporters from experiencing this life-changing week.

Watch how your support transforms lives, honors donor heroes, and unites our entire community.

How Your Support Drives Our Mission

The Transplant Life Foundation builds a world where every transplant recipient, individual awaiting a transplant, donor, and their loved ones find the support and resources they need to thrive. Four pillars form the foundation: Community, Education, Awareness, and Advocacy. Through these pillars, the Transplant Life Foundation connects people, provides vital information needed to make informed health decisions, increases organ donation rates, and champions policies that prioritize the transplant community’s needs.

Here is what financial gifts accomplish:

  • Produce the Transplant Games of America: This biannual six-day event brings together the entire donation and transplantation community to participate in 20 competitions and over 45 special events. Known as the world’s largest celebration of life, the Games increase awareness of organ, eye, and tissue donation, foster community connections, and promote donor registries and living donation. Financial support helps produce this event and covers costs for community members facing financial barriers, so everyone has the opportunity to experience this life-changing event.

  • Develop Educational Resources: Crucial educational guidance is provided to the transplant community through TransplantNATION magazine, a bi-monthly, 68-page publication designed to connect and support the ever-growing audience involved in organ donation and transplantation around the world.

  • Advocate for Pro-Patient Policy: The Transplant Life Foundation works tirelessly to advocate for policies that benefit the transplant community as a whole, lower healthcare barriers, and increase access to life-saving transplants. Financial support amplifies this collective voice.

  • Build Much-Needed Community: The Transplant Life Foundation is committed to helping members of the transplant community connect and support one another. The Transplant Community HUB is a one-of-a-kind private online community where members gather to find support and educational resources to navigate transplant. Contributions help continue building the HUB's programming and resources.

  • Honor Donors: The Transplant Life Foundation provides dedicated, high-touch platforms to honor and remember organ, eye, and tissue donors, ensuring their legacy lives on.

ORGANIZATIONAL LEGACY

The Transplant Life Foundation has been honored to operate the Transplant Games of America since 2011. The foundation is deeply proud to carry this legacy forward, made possible by donor support. Every contribution directly impacts lives across the community.
