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, while thousands 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 not registered, 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 up to 125 people, providing hope and comfort to families facing the loss of a loved one.

The Senate encourages 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. The resolution serves as a call to action to address the ongoing shortage of available organs and to honor the lives that can be saved through this selfless act.
