Hello everyone! I wanted to let you know that Donate Life has released the images and theme for 2022 Donate Life Month in April. This year the theme is "Bee a Donor" and the image is beautiful and attached to this note. For the last 2 years the transplant centers have struggled to celebrate Donate Life month due to COVID and our inability to gather people together. This year appears to be no different. Even though cases are falling, it would still be bad judgement to organize group gatherings on a transplant topic.
What activities have you done for Donate Life month? How do you think transplant centers and others should celebrate the amazing gift of organ donation in April this year?

@keggebraaten My husband and I have participated in several Donate Life events. I particularly enjoy the large outdoor events that include walks of different lengths, with teams of people representing different transplant centers/groups. There is a wonderful energy as people from so many walks of life are able to see, in-person, how transplants and organ donation affect so many others, from family members to medical professionals.
Unfortunately, I think it is still too soon to promote in-person events unless we can be assured of minimal contact and exposure to COVID, which can't be promised! Too bad there couldn't be a media special like the Stand Up to Cancer specials, or somesuch event!
