This National Donate Life Month, LifeLink® of Florida, the local organ recovery organization serving West and Southwest Florida, is partnering with businesses, hospitals and local landmarks to cast Tampa’s downtown in blue and green and shine a light on the critical need for more organ, eye and tissue donors. On April 12, Tampa will join communities across the state in illuminating the night sky as part of a month-long observance dedicated to raising awareness about the lifesaving impact of donation and encouraging individuals to register as donors.

As a proud supporter of the Donate Life cause, the national symbol for organ and tissue donation, LifeLink is illuminating our city in blue and green. These colors represent the Donate Life brand, embodying the connection between the sky and earth, and the vital role they play in the circle of life through the gift of donation.

Across Florida, over 5,500 men, women and children are waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. One donor can save the lives of up to eight individuals through organ donation and improve the lives of 75 people through tissue donation.

LifeLink® of Florida encourages Floridians to register as organ, eye and tissue donors at mystorycontinues.com, or when obtaining or renewing a driver’s license. For the thousands in need, this simple act offers hope and a second chance at life.
