Bill > HR432

This resolution officially designates April 2026 as "Donate Life Month" and April 10, 2026, as "Blue and Green Day" throughout Pennsylvania to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation. The resolution highlights Pennsylvania's strong support for organ and tissue donation, noting the significant number of transplants performed and the ongoing need for donors, as evidenced by the thousands of residents on the transplant waitlist. It emphasizes that a single donor can save multiple lives, restore sight, and heal many others, and that people of all ages can be donors. The resolution also acknowledges the commitment of various state departments and organ procurement organizations, such as the Center for Organ Recovery and Education (CORE) and the Gift of Life Donor Program, in their efforts to increase public awareness and encourage registration as organ, cornea, and tissue donors.
