Each year, TRIO of Northeast Florida participates in numerous events to promote donor awareness, help other recipients,
and to simply have fun. In February, we volunteer with Saturn Donor Day, an event sponsored by the Saturn auto
manufacturer. This event promotes donor awareness at local Saturn dealers and area college campuses.
April is National Donate Life Month. TRIO, along with other area organizations, is active in promoting donor awareness
through special events, including Donate Life Day, which has become a major event for our local chapter, as well as a
national event that includes other TRIO chapters from across the country.
Spring and summer are filled with picnics and other fun activities. Fall kicks off more donor events with Donor Sabbath and
the Tribute to Life ceremony in November, honoring those who have donated organs. Along with our annual Christmas
Party, we also host an annual Christmas dinner for transplant patients and their families who are staying in Jacksonville
either waiting for or recovering from transplant surgery.

| Transplant Games of America and World Transplant Games |
The Transplant Games of America are a series of Olympic-style athletic competitions open
to all transplant recipients. Sporting events include basketball, volleyball, tennis, track
and field, swimming, cycling, badminton, table tennis, racquetball, and more! Competition
is open to all recipients who have been transplanted for at least 6 months and are in
good health. For complete information, visit the TGA website.
The World Transplant Games bring together transplant athletes from around the world to
compete in an even wider array of events. Although the competition is often very tough,
many recipients attend merely for the fun and adventure of being with fellow transplant
recipients from other countries. In 2011, the Summer World Transplant Games will be in
Goteborg, Sweden. For more information, visit www.wtgf.org.
