Transplant Games Of America
The Transplant Games is the cornerstone activity of our mission and one that allows us to come together to demonstrate the amazing gift of life, the miracle of transplantation, and to focus the nation on the need for more organs. Our entire transplant family, working. We, with transplant supporters and health providers, assist our team members with the costs associated with participation at the Transplant Games of America and World Transplant Games, where we celebrate our newfound health to bring attention to the success of organ and tissue transplantation and honor the memory of donors and donor families.
New Jersey is welcoming its most inspiring event – the Transplant Games of America – July 17-22, 2020. Thousands of people from all 50 states and beyond will travel to New Jersey to unite, honor the families who have given the gift of life and ultimately raise awareness of organ, eye and tissue donation and transplantation.
