The Green Ribbon of Organ Donation

The Green Ribbon is a symbol for those thousands who wait, men, women and children on transplant waiting lists. It speaks of the dire need for more organs and the life-giving miracle of transplantation. It has come to mean sharing the gift of life through organ and tissue donation.

The green ribbon therefore represents the unselfishness of the donor, the courage of the donor family and the new life of the recipients.

Wearing a ribbon is now a cultural norm for showing support of individual causes. Green symbolizes the continuation of life. Wear your green ribbon with pride and be prepared to tell people that it represents your commitment to organ and tissue donor awareness.

Meanwhile, hundreds of transplantable organs are buried or cremated every day.......because the families of those who had died did not know about the life-saving opportunities that lie before them. We must tell them.
