National Minority Donor Awareness Month – August 1-7, 2023

National Minority Donor Awareness Week is observed from August 1 to August 7 every year to encourage multicultural donors. It also highlights the contribution of multicultural donors and their families and the diverse communities in critical need of organ donations. It was revealed in 2014 that 42% of those needing transplants in the U.S belonged to minorities, and at least 63,000 are waiting for kidney transplants. These worrisome statistics call for the instant action necessary to support minority donor awareness. It is essential to save millions of lives across the nation. This year, do what you can to spread the message and encourage minority donors to step forward.  To obtain further information please go NATIONAL MINORITY DONOR AWARENESS WEEK - August 1-7, 2023 - National Today.
