National Minority Donor Awareness Day (NMDAD)

August 1st

This day is designed to increase awareness of the need for more organ/tissue donors. The annual observance reaches out to minorities and focuses on the various fears and obstacles associated with donation. The campaign’s goal is to promote healthy living and disease prevention, as well as increase the number of people who sign donor cards, have discussions with their families about their wishes, and become donors. Minority Donor Awareness Day is also aimed at increasing awareness of the behaviors that may lead to the need for transplantation, such as smoking, alcohol and substance abuse, and poor nutrition.
