Raising awareness for National Donate Life Month

ALBANY, N.Y. ( NEWS10 ) — It’s National Donate Life Month, a time meant to encourage people to sign up for organ donation . Lia Nissan of Saratoga teamed up with Donate Life New York on Thursday to support the mission.

The company said anyone who signs up to become an organ donor through April 30 will receive discounted services. They are hoping the promotion brings more awareness to the need for donors.

“It’s not really a topic you think about on a day-to-day basis,” Donate Life NYS Exec. Dir. Aisha Tator said. “This puts the information out there so New Yorkers understand we have this crisis, and there is something we can do to help.”

According to the state, more than 7.5 million New Yorkers have joined the Donate Life registry.
