April 11: Living Donor Day

National Living Donor Day is observed worldwide every April 11 to honor individuals who save lives through living organ and tissue donation. The day was established following the living donor liver transplant of Dave Galbenski in 2019, which led to the creation of the Living Liver Foundation aimed at promoting awareness of living organ donation. On this day, people are encouraged to educate themselves about the types of organs and tissues that can be donated, such as a kidney, a segment of the liver, or a lobe of the lung. Individuals who meet the criteria for donation may reach out to transplant hospitals to inquire about non-directed donation programs. Additionally, those unable or unwilling to donate can contribute by supporting organizations that facilitate donor-recipient matching or fundraising for transplant-related expenses. Social media engagement with hashtags like #NationalLivingDonorDay and #LivingDonorDay is also encouraged to spread the message.
