Nationwide, April is the month that is dedicated to raising awareness about the need for registered organ donors. Many COTA families are waiting to receive a life-saving call notifying them of a donor match. For more information about how you can become a registered organ donor, go tohttp://www.donatelife.com/Donatelife/Register.html.

In 2014, more than 170 COTA patients were successfully transplanted, and more than $5 million was raised.
