EYE DONOR MONTH, NTL.
About Eye Donor Month
Since 1983 the EBAA has commemorated National Eye Donor Month to promote awareness of the need to donate eyes, to recognize donors and their families and to celebrate corneal recipients. Each March a member of Congress has read a proclamation into the Congressional Record to note this special occasion; this year, Rep. Aaron Schock (IL-18) will make the proclamation to declare March 2014 as National Eye Donor Month. Below you'll see the winning entries from eye donor recipients in the 2013 art contest.
EBAA spearheaded the "Through My Eyes" Art Contest. Donor family members and cornea recipients have submit a written composition, drawing, photograph or video that portrays their journey of receiving sight or giving the gift of sight through a loved one.
This event also includes Donor Sabbath in November. National Donor Sabbath weekend is an interfaith initiative where organ recovery organizations, eye banks and tissue banks work with those in the faith community to increase donation awareness.
