National Donor Sabbath
Be a symbol of Hope for those who are waiting.
Research has shown that one of the main reasons people hesitate to register is the belief that it is against one's religion. All of the major religions in the U.S. consider organ donation to be a final act of love, charity and generosity. With the help of the Congregation of Churches, we can eliminate this misconception and teach donation as a true act of compassion supported by all major U.S. religions. FLYER/BULLETININSERT
