Due to a lack of donors, 18 patients die every day awaiting a second chance at life.

Donate Life California and ITVS have recently partnered to spread awareness about organ donation for the upcoming Community Cinema screening of D TOUR in Oakland, CA at 6:00 PM, September 23, at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center. The film chronicles musician Pat Spurgeon’s search for a living kidney donor and the challenges associated with finding a viable match.

Taking a few minutes to register as an organ and tissue donor can mean a lifetime to someone else.

For those living in California, register on the Donate Life California Web site >>
