Community Outreach

The Penn Transplant Institute is dedicated to increasing awareness of the need for organ and tissue donation. Penn supports the Gift of Life Donor Program through such events as the DASH for Organ Awareness and U.S. Transplant Games.

Gift of Life

One of the oldest of the 59 donor programs in the United States, Gift of Life is the region’s link between donors and patients awaiting life-saving transplants. To learn more about donating organs, visit the Gift of Life Donor Program website.

DASH for Organ Awareness

The annual DASH for Organ Donor Awareness creates awareness about organ and tissue donation and raises funds to educate the Philadelphia community about the critical need for organ and tissue donors.
