Tips for Success
Start with a strong foundation
The more awareness and education you provide, the greater your impact. Focus first on building understanding—this naturally leads to increased donor registrations.
Keep the mission at the center
Organ, eye and tissue donation impacts real people every day. Bring the mission to life by inviting a LifeShare volunteer to share their story and use pre-made videos and social content to highlight those directly impacted.
Leverage urgency and friendly competition
Create momentum with time-based challenges or internal competitions. Whether it’s a 24-hour registration push or a department vs. department challenge, a little urgency can drive big results.
Think beyond your workplace
Expand your reach by encouraging employees to talk with family and friends. Engage visitors, clients, and your broader community by hosting public registration or information tables.
Making it part of your culture year-round
Give Life OK is not just a one-month initiative. Continue sharing, educating, and engaging beyond milestones or goal completion. When donation becomes part of your everyday culture, participation feels less like a task—and more like a reflection of your organization’s purpose and values.

Make participation easy, meaningful and fun:
• Share real stories of donors and recipients
