The Association for Multicultural Affairs in Transplantation and Donate Life America joined forces in 2015 to develop Donate Life ECHO, a nationwide observance designed to reach multicultural communities. It has two objectives: 1) to focus on the power of sharing one’s personal decision to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor; and
2) encourage registered donors to ask members of their personal networks and communities to talk about organ, eye and tissue donation.
