🧡 This August, during National Minority Donor Awareness Month, we’re calling on our community to: Stand up. Speak up. Sign up. 💪💚

African Americans are 3X more likely to need a transplant—but donors from these communities are greatly underrepresented. You can help change that.

🫶 Stand up for health equity.
🗣️ Speak up about the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation.
✍️ Sign up as a donor and encourage others to do the same.

Together, we can save more lives, support more families, and build a stronger, healthier future for EVERY community.

✅ Sign up as a donor here: https://bit.ly/signuptoDONATE

✨ One man. Two lives saved. ✨

When Brian Flynn hit 50, he donated a kidney to a stranger. Then, he did something even rarer: he donated part of his liver to a 4-year-old boy.
Brian is now one of the few people in the world to become a living double organ donor. His selfless acts saved 24-year-old Greg Dentice and little Richie Ramirez, now 8.

💬 "It gave me something that I could do that was, from my perspective, even extraordinary and to give my life meaning," Flynn said. "And that's really hard to find."

👏 A big thank-you to MTF Biologics for sharing Jonathan Williams’ powerful story!
After a high school football injury left Jonathan with a fractured femur and a deteriorating knee, he faced limited options. At just 18, he became the first recipient of a groundbreaking transplant using donated human tissue preserved through the Missouri Osteochondral Preservation System (MOPS). The innovative graft gave Jonathan a second chance—not just at movement, but at life. Today, he’s back to hiking, surfing, jogging, and even working alongside the very doctor who helped pioneer the technology that changed his future.

🚒 A Firefighter’s Journey of Survival 🩹
As a NYC firefighter and Ironman triathlete, Matt Long was used to saving lives. But after being struck by a 20-ton bus, it was donated tissue that helped save his. After 43 surgeries, 68 units of blood, and years of rehab, Matt finally regained his strength, thanks in part to skin grafts from generous tissue donors.
“The tissue transplant gave me more than a closed wound. It gave me my confidence and freedom back.”

📣 Big news for North Carolina! On July 3, Governor Josh Stein signed Senate Bill 600 into law—marking a historic win for organ, eye, and tissue donation across our state.

Starting with 2027 tax filings, North Carolinians will have the opportunity to register as donors on their state income taxes thanks to the “Check Yes, Save Lives” initiative.

🫀 “This bill gives North Carolinians another powerful way to say ‘yes’ to saving lives,” said Rep. Timothy Reeder, SB600’s primary sponsor.
