Regional and Community Support
Across Colorado and Wyoming, around 1,400 of our neighbors wait for a lifesaving organ transplant and thousands more are in need of healing tissue transplants. As we #ShineALight on the need throughout the month of April, we celebrate the regional and community support from people like you! Everyday heroes who say Yes to organ, eye and tissue donation and register their donation decision help us illuminate the darkest corner and end the waitlist.
Celebrate with us at by requesting your free lighting kit, sharing your support on social media and recognizing our community supporters and partners below in your local community.
Watch Special Announcement from City and County of Denver’s Mayor Hancock: Special Donate Life Month Message from Mayor Hancock.
