Family members and friends are invited to the Games to celebrate life! Supporters can cheer on transplant athletes; meet donor families and living donors. Your attendance at the Games, along with other members of the transplant community, illustrates the positive impact that organ donation and translpantation can have on the lives of everyone involved in the process. It also generates public awareness about the critical need for more donors.
Each participant in the Games is part of an official NKF U.S. Transplant Games® Team representing his or her state or region, which is organized by a local Team Manager. Games team members are categorized as Primary or Support Members. Family members and friends are considered support team members.
In addition to events and activities admission, all primary team members are invited to march in the Opening Ceremony procession with their local team. Prior to the Games, primary team members may also fund raise to help offset costs associated with their trip. For more information, please contact your local Team Manager.
Hundreds of volunteers have committed thousands of hours to make the NKF U.S. Transplant Games® successful, and even more volunteer hours will be necessary for the 2010 Games. Whether you are interested in working a few hours or a few days, we have a place for you. Volunteers can get involved in a number of jobs, from sports and social activities to office administration. View the job descriptions to find the right position for you. We invite you to lend your expertise, energy and enthusiasm and join us at this inspirational, life–changing event for transplant recipients, donor families, living donors and family members and friends.
Walk, jog or run! Join us at your own pace, in the name of organ & tissue donation at the 5K Race for Organ, Eye & Tissue Donation Awareness, a road race for transplant recipients, family members, friends, transplant professionals, living donors, donor families and the local community. There is a separate registration and fee for Games’ non–athletes and the public who wish to participate in this event.
The Youth Program highlights various activities throughout Games-week that allow for the hundreds of young people that attend to connect with one another, share experiences, cultivate friendships and have fun!
