You can make a difference like Brad did by registering to be an organ, eye & tissue donor today. Brad’s father, Irwin, a double lung and kidney recipient, led the efforts to start the Colorado Donor Registry in 1996. Because of Irwin’s vision, we now see a heart on IDs. Your decision can save up to 8 lives and heal up to 75 more.
A Gift That Can
Save and Heal Lives
The ability to save another person’s life is one of the most meaningful gifts any of us can ever offer. Through the transformative power of organ, eye and tissue donation, every person has the ability to save and heal lives in our community. Very few choices in life carry this kind of power.
Your decision to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor places you among a community of individuals who have chosen to give a gift.
What the Heart on
Your License or ID Represents
The heart symbol on your license or ID acknowledges your generosity and enrollment in the Donate Life Colorado or Donate Life Wyoming donor registry. It recognizes the incredible impact you are willing to make through your decision to help others.
Your choice represents hope for people who may one day depend on it. In fact, your decision could save up to 8 lives and heal countless more someday.
Checking the Box
Makes Your Decision Clear
By checking the box YES to organ donation and declaring your decision at the Division of Motor Vehicles or WYDOT Driver Services, you provided clear direction for your loved ones during critical moments.
That clarity brings comfort, and it ensures that your decision to help others will be honored. Many families in our region share that understanding a donor’s decision brought strength and unity during difficult times.
Your registration offers that same sense of clarity.
A Small Heart
With a Powerful Meaning
The little heart on your driver license or ID serves as a visible reminder of your commitment. It represents your place in a community of people who believe in stepping forward for others.
Encouraging others to make their own decision about donation can also make a meaningful difference.
