(Black PR Wire)\u00a0To donate an organ is to give the gift of life. August is National Minority Donor Awareness Month – a key observance that deserves recognition and requires our attention. This observance is a collaborative effort by national organizations to save and improve the quality of life by encouraging organ, eye, and tissue donation.\u00a0It raises awareness and celebrates organ donation and transplantation in communities of color. Our call to action? To encourage donor registration and to promote healthy living and disease prevention to decrease the need for transplantation.\u00a0 Together, we can make the difference of a lifetime and help our communities thrive. It\u2019s time to not only give National Minority Donor Awareness Month our attention, but those who have donated, their recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
