A Texas Transplant Family is Celebrating National Minority Donor Awareness Month:

Please Register to be a Life-Saving Organ or Tissue Donor

August is National Minority Donor Awareness Month. This national observance (first a day and then a week) was initiated in 1996 to increase our nation’s consciousness of the need for more organ and tissue donors from multicultural backgrounds. Starting this year, this nationwide awareness push to engage and educate multicultural communities about the need for organ and tissue donors has been expanded to encompass the entire month of August.
