Transplant Games of America to be held in Birmingham, Alabama 2024
Team Texas has participated in the Transplant Games of America as Texas Life Warriors since 2012. The games are for transplant recipients, living donors and donor families. The event is a time to show appreciation to our loved ones who care for us and our everlasting gratitude to Donor Families. The games are an amazing way to raise awareness for organ donation. The games also promote a healthy lifestyle and most importantly creating relationships with people who understand transplantation and help spread the word of importance of organ donation. The U.S. Transplant Games are held every other year on the even years. The first National Games were a small group of transplant recipients that gathered in the Great State of Texas.
