Transplant Games of America – Organ Recipients Association of Arkansas

The Transplant Games of America are a multi-sport festival event held every two years with the goal of bringing attention to Organ & Tissue donation. Over the years, the games have grown into an event that brings transplant recipients and donor families together. Many donor families never get the chance to meet the person(s) that their generosity has impacted. The Transplant Games, however, gives them the chance to be with other donor families and transplant recipients

The next transplant games will be held on July 17 – 22 in Meadowlands, NJ. You can participate no matter where you live, including international participants. To participate as an athlete you must meet a few requirements:

You must have had a life-altering transplant
Your transplant must have taken place no sooner than 9 months prior to the beginning of the games.
You must be healthy during competition.
Your doctor must sign a medical waiver giving you permission to participate.
You must sign a form stating that you meet all the above requirements.

*** If you are a living donor or part of a donor family, you may also participate.
