National DMV Appreciation Month

September is National DMV Appreciation Month! Each year, we recognize the vital role licensing, treasury and Department of Revenue offices play in helping to save and heal lives.

According to Donate Life America, more than 90% of state donor registrations come through the DMV.¹ Their staff are the people on the front lines of service asking the donor designation question every day, helping people across the region to register their decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor. There are currently more than 170 million donor registrations in the U.S.!

Please join us during National DMV Appreciation Month in thanking our DMV partners and recognizing their incredible contributions to our lifesaving mission. Here are a few ways you can get involved:

• Reach out to your local licensing, treasury or Department of Revenue office and thank them.
• Show your appreciation on their social media pages.
• Consider sharing your donation story with a local licensing office employee. Stories connect people to the mission of saving and healing lives in our community.

Join the organ, eye, and tissue donor registry, read donor and recipient stories, or learn more about donation by visiting ShareLifeMidwest.com.
