Make a Life-Saving Impact on Giving Tuesday with Tennessee Donor Services

December 2, 2025

Each year, Giving Tuesday reminds us of the power of generosity. It’s a day when communities come together to support causes that create meaningful, lasting change. At Tennessee Donor Services, we know that one of the most profound gifts a person can offer is the gift of life through organ, eye and tissue donation.

This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to take a simple, powerful step:

Register to become an organ donor.

Right now, thousands of people across the nation, and many here in Tennessee, are waiting for a second chance at life. For them, an organ donor is not just a match; they are hope, healing, and a future. One donor can save up to eight lives through organ donation and heal or improve the lives of dozens more through tissue and cornea donation. Your decision today could change the trajectory of families for generations.

Why Giving Tuesday Matters for Donation

Giving Tuesday is built on a simple idea: Everyone has something to give. While financial contributions are important, the gift of registering as an organ donor costs nothing, and yet its impact is immeasurable. By registering, you are:

  • Offering hope to those waiting for a life-saving transplant
  • Supporting families who are praying for a miracle
  • Strengthening communities through generosity and compassion
  • Creating a legacy that lives on through others

At Tennessee Donor Services, we are humbled every day by the generosity of donors and their families. Their gifts fuel hope, healing, and second chances. This Giving Tuesday, we celebrate that spirit of giving and invite you to join us by registering as a donor.

Become a registered organ donor, and make a lasting difference.
