One Decision. 83 Lives.

New York needs more organ donors. Right now. Here's why your registration matters — and how to do it in two minutes.

Takes less than 2 minutes. Free. Open to anyone 16+.

New York has one of the lowest donor registration rates in the country. The gap between supply and need costs lives.

8,000+

New Yorkers are waiting right now for a life-saving transplant.

1,600+

Have waited more than five years — watching their health decline while hoping for a match.

~400

New Yorkers die every year simply because the organs they need are never found.

A single donor can change 83 lives.

One person. One decision. One extraordinary ripple.

Through organ, tissue, and eye donation, a single registered donor has the potential to transform dozens of families — people who get to keep their parent, their spouse, their child.

8 lives saved through organ donation

75 lives improved through tissue & eye donation

You Can Register. Yes, You!

There is no age limit and no medical disqualification that prevents you from signing up. Doctors make donation decisions at the time of death based on your medical condition — but registration itself is open to all. If you’re 16 or older and live in New York, you qualify.

The Two-Minute Gift

Registration takes less than two minutes — right now, even on your phone. It's the fastest way to do something that matters for the rest of your life (and beyond).

Age 16 and Up

If you're 16 or older in New York State, you can register and be someone's hero. It's your choice to make — and it matters enormously.

No Medical Disqualification

Age, health conditions, and chronic illness don't stop you from registering. Donation suitability is assessed by medical professionals at time of death — not today.

"Life is the Greatest Gift you can give. It can also be the greatest gift you receive. I know because I received this gift. I had a catastrophic injury to my cervical spine and donor bone is the reason I can walk and talk today. Without the Gift of Life, I would have been a quadriplegic on a ventilator. Now I stand for The Fallen. Someone I never met had made the decision to Register as an Organ, Eye and Tissue Donor. Maybe it was when they got their driver’s license or by signing up through a Registration Event like this one. Perhaps they knew someone who was a recipient, or they could have been a recipient themselves. You never know who around you could be a recipient or a registered donor or even a living donor.

You can help by Registering and then spread the word to your family and friends about your decision to give the Greatest Gift. Share this with them or help them register. If one person can save 83 lives just imagine how many your friends and family could save. Not to mention the grateful families and friends of all those recipients."
