Join the National Organ Donor Registry
Signing up in the National Donate Life Registry ensures your donor registration travels with you, no matter where you live or move across the country. Log into RegisterMe.org to update your donor profile, specify any donation restrictions or remove your registration.
Register your Decision in Illinois
The State of Illinois Organ/Tissue Donor Registry is a confidential computerized database that documents a person's wishes regarding donation. Information contained in the registry is only released to organ and tissue procurement personnel and medical examiners after all efforts to save a person's life have failed.
Schedule a Blood, Platelet or Plasma Donation
Emily has had 15+ blood transfusions in the last six months. Every day, blood donors help patients of all ages: accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those battling cancer. In fact, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Although you cannot donate blood directly for Emily, you can contribute to the blood bank in Emily's honor. Thank you for helping save lives!
