“National Minority Donor Awareness Day is celebrated on August 1 as a way of bringing to light the need for minority donors. The day is a part of National Minority Donor Awareness Week. This particular day highlights the need, especially among minorities, for more organ, eye, and tissue donors. Yet another focus of the day includes acknowledging minorities who have donated. Along with educating people about the need to donate organs, the day also encourages them to register themselves as donors. National Minority Donor Awareness Day also tries to inculcate good health habits in people so that there may be a decreased need for an organ transplant.” NATIONAL MINORITY DONOR AWARENESS DAY – August 1, 2023 – National Today
