  • Thank you City of Birmingham, Jefferson County, and the Greater Birmingham CVB for sponsoring and making the 2024 Transplant Games magical in the Magic City! Thanks to our sponsors; UAB Medicine, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama, Medical Properties Trust, Coca-Cola, and Children's of Alabama. More than 9,000 people gathered to raise awareness for organ, eye, and tissue donation and transplantation. The Local Organizing Committee and TGA staff welcomed over 400 volunteers, dazzling participants with a spectacular Opening Ceremony, a moving Donor Tribute, and over 20 exhilarating competitions including a vigorous 5k Run/Walk. Other special events included the Quarter Century Club, which celebrated a special evening at the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, recognizing those recipients who have had their transplant for 25 years or more. Thank you to everyone who, with their attendance, furthered our mission to promote the gift of life through organ, eye, and tissue donation and transplantation! #tga24bhm #sharingstories #sharinglife #transplantlifefoundation

    We joined the #transplant community in Birmingham earlier this month for the Transplant Games of America, an event that brings together recipients, donors and their families to celebrate the gift of life and honor the legacy of donors. #TeamTakeda had strong representation at the Games this year, connecting with the community and encouraging a bit of healthy competition.
