Help us Celebrate 40 years of Donate Life CT with our
$40 for 40 GIVINGTUESDAY Campaign!
For 40 years, Donate Life Connecticut has been dedicated to the cause of raising awareness regarding organ and tissue donation. We are completely self-funded and rely on our fundraising events and the generous donations of people like you to continue the essential work of raising awareness, increasing the number of registered donors, providing education about living donation, and ultimately, helping to save lives.
