What are the U.S. Transplant Games?

Every other year, since 1990, the National Kidney Foundation has brought together transplant recipients and their families, living donors and donor family members to celebrate the success of transplantation and to honor the gifts from donors. The U.S. Transplant Games feature sports events for transplant recipients from around the country and recognition ceremonies honoring both living and deceased donors.
