Senate Resolution No. recognizes April 2025 as Donate Life Month in Michigan, highlighting the critical need for organ, tissue, and eye donations. Currently, approximately 2,600 residents in Michigan are awaiting life-saving organ transplants, and many more could benefit from tissue and corneal transplants. Despite having around 4.6 million individuals on the Organ Donor Registry, over 42 percent of adults have yet to register, underscoring the urgent need for increased awareness and participation in organ donation efforts. The resolution emphasizes that each donation can save up to eight lives and heal the lives of up to 125 people, providing hope and comfort to families facing the loss of a loved one.

The resolution calls on all Michigan residents to join the Organ Donor Registry and to discuss their decision with family, friends, and colleagues to promote a culture of generosity and kindness through organ donation. By recognizing April as Donate Life Month, the Senate aims to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation and encourage more individuals to contribute to this life-saving cause. The resolution was adopted by the Senate on April 16, 2025.
