National Donate Life Month: Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness
Blue and Green Day
National Blue & Green Day 2025 on Friday, April 11, is a time to raise awareness about the importance of registering as an organ, eye, and tissue donor for National Donate Life Month. It’s also a time to honor the heroic donors and their families who said “yes” to organ, eye, and tissue donation. Coloradans and Wyomingites are encouraged to wear blue and green on this day to promote the importance of registering as an organ, eye, and tissue donor to save and heal more lives in our community. From dressing up your pup, to decorating your sneakers or wearing your best blue and green outfit, get creative! Visit our NDLM Pinterest page for inspiration!
