Today begins National Multiethnic Donor Awareness Month, a collaborative effort led by the National Organ, Eye, and Tissue Donation Multicultural Action Group (NMAG), of which EBAA is a proud member. In the United States the need for lifesaving organs far exceeds the supply - the national transplant waiting list stands at more than 100,000 people. 60% of people on the waiting list represent racial and ethnic minorities. Tragically, 16 people die each day waiting for a transplant. This month and all year long, we elevate the need for more eye, organ, and tissue donors within multicultural communities, provide donation education, encourage donor registration, and promote healthy living and disease prevention to decrease the need for transplantation. Register as a donor hero at: RegisterMe.org

Get Ready for Eye Donation Month: Earlier in July, Danny Rivers - one of the "faces" of upcoming 2024 Eye Donation Month in November, was set to compete in the Transplant Games in Birmingham Alabama. Danny is a bilateral cornea recipient and also donated a kidney to his father-in-law. Unfortunately, Danny suffered a knee injury during his training and was unable to compete. But, he still attended the Games as a supporter of his fellow donation recipients and living donors. Danny was interviewed about his experience at the Games and what it means to be a cornea recipient and living donor. Watch his interview, and be on the lookout for his Eye Donation Month video coming later this summer! Thanks to Advancing Sight Network for introducing us to Danny, and putting this interview on our radar! https://lnkd.in/erCtW9nM

Consider Hosting the 2025 MJO Fellow! The EBAA is looking for a member eye bank to serve as host for the EBAA Mary Jane O’Neill Fellowship in International Eye Banking for a one week period during June 2025. PROGRAM GOALS: To provide medical or technical personnel from the international community of eye banks with the skills necessary to develop, operate, and maintain a successful eye banking program. This fellowship is targeted toward eye bank staff in underserved areas, and provides intensive one-on-one instruction in the setting of a functioning EBAA-member eye bank. PROGRAM DESIGN: The Mary Jane O’Neill Fellow will “intern” in an active eye bank setting for one week, observing and participating in the various functions and activities which relate to a successful eye banking program, such as: administrative, public relations activities, technical procedures, medical chart review, DRAI, recovery, processing, preservation, and distribution. The host eye bank will work closely with EBAA to ensure realization of the goals of the program. For more information and application, see our website. Applications are due Friday, August 9th. https://lnkd.in/ecFwwgV3
