Story
The Transplant Games of America is a multi-sport festival event for individuals who have undergone life-saving transplant surgeries. Competition events are open to living donors, organ transplant recipients, bone marrow recipients, and a limited number of corneal and tissue transplant recipients. More than an athletic event, the Transplant Games of America highlight the critical importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation, while celebrating the lives of organ donors and recipients. The next Transplant Games of America will take place in San Diego, California July 29 to August 3, 2022.
Team Iowa celebrates the gifts of organ, eye and tissue donation and encourages others to register as a donor. By competing in the Donate Life Transplant Games of America we honor our donors, our donor families and celebrate life. The team consists of athletes and support members who participate in various events at the Donate Life Transplant Games of America. Our athletes have received an organ, bone marrow, tissue or corneal transplant or are a living donor. We are always thrilled to welcome new team members and would love to have more people join the team for the next Transplant Games!
