What We Are All About

The Aberdeen Area Gift of Life transplant support group was formed in 1997 with a charter group of five members and has grown ever since. We would like to thank all who have donated organs to those in need. Our group realizes the hardship of making the decision to donate, and we are here to thank you.Aberdeen Area Gift of Life gives support to its members and support to the community by sharing our experiences with others. To share our Gift of Life we have become a presence in our community. We participate in community service projects, raise awareness for the importance of organ donation, and lend emotional support to those that organ donation has affected. If you would like to get involved, check out our calendar of events or contact any of our officers.

Health Fair!

The Health Fair went smoothly despite the low attendance in my opinion. Everyone that signed up, showed up despite a little miscommunication:)
I'm glad to report- the lady at the Sanford booth next to ours said- there is an increasing trend for people signing up to be a donor!!!

Check Us Out on the Radio!

All of those who have signed up to record a PSA- I appricate all those who did- the radio stations have decided to just do one recording. So I sent them a generic PSA about the group and the importance of National Donate Life Month!

In case you haven't heard it on the radio here it is:
