CORE joins organ procurement organizations across the nation to celebrate National Donor Day this Valentine’s Day by encouraging individuals to make a Pledge for Life by becoming a registered organ, tissue and cornea donor.  Pennsylvania residents can register at www.donatelifepa.org and West Virginia residents can register at www.donatelifewv.org.

National Donor Day was implemented in 1998 by the Saturn Corporation and its United Auto Workers partners with the support of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and many nonprofit health organizations.  It focuses on the five points of life: organs, tissues, marrow, platelets and blood.
