The U.S. Transplant Games is a multi-day athletic competition occurring every other year. The U.S. Transplant Games is open to anyone who has received a lifesaving solid organ transplant--heart, liver, kidney, lung, and pancreas and living donors. As much as the Games is an athletic event that calls attention to the success of organ and tissue transplantation, it is also a celebration of life among recipients, their families and friends. The Transplant Games are to demonstrate to the public the collective and individual successes of the life-restoring therapy of organ transplantation and to use the mass media to promote the success of organ donation and transplantation and to call attention to the need for organ donation through events and support activity before, during, and after the event.
