2002 U.S. Transplant Games Donor Family Liaisons

Each team has asked a local donor family to volunteer as Donor Family Liaison to the U.S. Transplant Games. Liaisons will participate in pre-Games activities with the athletic team, including media and fundraising events, team meetings and more. They will serve as resources for donor families who would like to attend the Games and will be onsite to welcome local families as they arrive in Florida.

If you are a donor family and would like to participate in the Games and donor family programs, or just want to chat with other donor families in your area, contact your liaison from the list below. If your state is not listed or you are unsure which team covers your city, please contact the National office at 800-622-9010 or donorfamily@kidney.org.
