News and updates

Partners in storytelling

Donate Life Texas partners with news media throughout the state to share information and stories of real people whose lives have been touched by organ, eye and tissue donation. This is one of the most powerful ways to dispel myths, increase awareness and encourage more people to register as donors.

Media resources

Together with our Donate Life Texas partners, we can connect you with donor families, transplant recipients, healthcare professionals, or national donate life organizations. Additional information about donation in Texas and nationally can help round out your story. Need more information? Don’t hesitate to get in touch.
