Wear Blue & Green

The most important thing to do in celebrating National Donate Life Blue & Green Day is to get dressed in the morning wearing green and blue.

Then, be sure to tell everyone why you’re decked out from head to toe in these colors. In the organization’s logo, the blue stands for the sky, the green stands for the earth and the spiral stands for the circle of life.

Wear a Donate Life T-Shirt

Those who have a special Donate Life t-shirt with the official logo should certainly consider wearing it on this important day.

Be sure to be ready with more information about how others at work, school or in the local community can also get involved by becoming organ donors.
