Young Professionals for Transplant

 

TLC Members American Transplant Foundation celebrated the launch of our new young professionals group, the Transplant Leadership Council (TLC), with a party at The Jet Hotel in downtown Denver, Colorado on June 28, 2011. More than 40 young professionals and supporters attended to learn more about the Council, which provides emergency financial assistance for transplant patients in need.

Celebrating Life with Team Transplant

 

Watch the video More than 100 transplant recipients, living donors, and supporters joined us on Sunday, June 5th as Team Transplant rode in the Subaru Elephant Rock for the third year in a row to raise awareness for organ and tissue donation. This year, special guest Lt. Governor Joe Garcia joined in on the fun and awarded one of the team's youngest participants, six-year-old liver recipient Vienna, with a special jersey on stage after the ride. Our riders brought in more than $60,000 to support transplant.

Donate Life Plate Update

 Donate Life License Plate  

American Transplant Foundation ran the legislation to create Colorado's Donate Life license plates in 2009. To keep the plates in production as a permanent Colorado license plate, the state requires that 3,000 be issued by July 1, 2013. Only 1,200 more plates to go to fulfill this requirement!
