Team Philadelphia: Transplant Games of America
Team Philadelphia is a group of transplant recipients, living donors, donor families, and supporters who attend and compete at the Donate Life Transplant Games of America.
Transplant Games is a biennial summer Olympic-style competition that highlights transplant success and the importance of organ and tissue donation. It’s a celebration for all those whose lives were touched by organ and tissue donation.
Every other year Gift of Life organizes a team to participate in and support the event. We had a wonderful team in San Diego for the 2022 Transplant Games of America and look forward to the 2024 event.
The location of the 2024 Transplant Games of America has not yet been announced. For more information about the Transplant Games, visit their website.

About Transplant Games of America
The Donate Life Transplant Games of America raises organ and tissue donor awareness by showcasing the abilities of individuals who have undergone life-saving transplant surgeries. Competition events are open to organ transplant recipients, living donors, bone marrow recipients, and some corneal and tissue transplant recipients.
The event also honors those whose loved ones have given the gift of life and includes programs for donor families.
There are plenty of opportunities for everyone to cheer on our athletes as they prove that transplantation works!
Donor Family Members
We sponsor a limited number of donor family members to travel with Team Philadelphia to the Transplant Games of America.
