- Welcome to the Save 50 Lives Campaign
More than 92,000 Americans are waiting for an organ transplant.
On average, 115 people are added to the nation's organ transplant waiting list each day--one every 13 minutes. In addition, approximately 17 patients die every day while waiting for an organ--one person every 85 minutes. Over 6,000 individuals died last year while on the U.S. organ transplant waiting list because the organ they needed was not donated in time.
A single organ donor can save the lives of up to eight people by donating the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas and intestines. One tissue donor can improve the lives of more than 50 people by donating eyes, bone, soft tissue, heart valves, veins and skin.
With that in mind and marking the 50th anniversary of organ transplanting --- the Save 50 Lives Campaign has been developed. We believe the most effective way we can serve people waiting for transplants is to support organ donor drives. This campaign is a pro-active pursuit of that belief.
