National Donor Day, 2019

We hope everyone had a great National Donor Day, spreading awareness about organ, eye and tissue donation! The Transplant Life Foundation would also like to recognize and honor those who have given and received the gift of life. Many of us would not be here today if it was not for these unsung heroes. 
2020 Meadowlands Transplant Games Planning Update

The Meadowlands Local Organizing Committee (MLOC) met for our first meeting on February 8th to kick off the 2019 Planning Cycle. Working together with the New Jersey Sharing Network, we have assembled a solid leadership team that will coordinate over 15 committees in the planning and execution of what is expected to be the largest gathering of transplant recipients, donor families, living donors and medical professionals, ever assembled. We will begin featuring the work of key committees in future newsletters, as the process of venue selection for competition and special events takes place.
