NJ Sharing Network is committed to saving and enhancing lives through the miracle of organ and tissue donation and transplantation.

Nearly 4,000 NJ residents are currently waiting for a life-saving transplant. Learn more about the benefits of organ and tissue donation and transplantation.

We work closely with healthcare workers, funeral directors, attorneys and other professionals to provide specialized training and targeted information about the life-saving benefits of organ and tissue donation.

Our Family Services team works closely with donor families through the grieving process and beyond, while helping to honor their loved ones' legacies.

Our partnerships with educators, students, faith-based leaders, first responders and other community members help us spread the life-saving message of organ and tissue donation. Find out how you can help spread awareness in your community.

Join us at our signature events, such as the 5K Celebration of Life and Golf Classic, as we honor those who gave, pay tribute to those who received, offer hope to those who continue to wait, and remember the lives lost while waiting... for the gift of life.

Registering as an organ and tissue donor and making a contribution are two great ways to support our mission, but there are many more ways to take action in your community. You can volunteer, participate in our events, share your story and so much more!

Donate Life Transplant Games

The Donate Life Transplant Games is a multi-sport festival for individuals who have undergone life-saving transplant surgeries. Competition events are open to living donors, organ transplant recipients, and bone marrow, corneal and tissue transplant recipients.

More than 12,000 people are expected to attend the six-day festival, July 17-22, 2020, recognizing the success of donation and transplantation and honoring the generosity of donors and their families.

Team Liberty, a program of NJ Sharing Network, comes together at the Donate Life Transplant Games, and all year round, to promote the success of organ transplantation, to raise awareness for the urgent need of organ and tissue donation and to honor donors and their families who have so generously given the gift of life. Team Liberty represents the NJ-NY-CT tri-state area. Learn more about Team Liberty.

Elisse Glennon, VP and Chief Administrative Officer at NJ Sharing Network, and Bill Ryan, President and CEO of Transplant Games of America, spoke with Steve Adubato about the 2020 Donate Life Transplant Games coming to New Jersey.

A press conference announcing the 2020 Transplant Games was held at MetLife Stadium in February 2018. View photos from the press conference here.

The MEADOWLANDS 2020 LOGO features a golden flame in the shape of New Jersey, symbolic of the Statue of Liberty’s torch. Beneath the flame, four wavy lines represent the Hudson River (blue) and the meadows (shades of green and grey). In the Transplant Games of America logo, the red, white and blue stars symbolize the Donor, the Recipient, and the Families of both. The stars appear to radiate waves of light, just as the light of a donor continues to shine through those who receive the gift of life. Explore the Meadowlands
