In 2025, Let Life Sing! Birds have long been a symbol of renewal, hope, and connection—welcomed signs of spring that remind us of both new beginnings and the lasting presence of those we’ve lost. Their songs bring comfort, just as the gift of organ, tissue, and eye donation brings healing and second chances to those in need.
This Donate Life Month, we honor the selfless individuals who have given the gift of life and recognize the profound impact of donation. With over 104,000 people waiting for a lifesaving transplant, raising awareness is more important than ever.
Network for Hope will be present each day, sharing stories, sparking conversations, and spreading our mission of transforming lives through donation. Together, we can inspire hope, encourage action, and let life’s song continue for those still waiting.

Donate Life Living Donor Day honors living organ and tissue donors for saving and healing lives!
