Wolverines for Life is a collaborative effort between the University of Michigan community, the American Red Cross, Be the Match, Gift of Life Michigan, Eversight, and Team Michigan. We are students, athletes, alumni, staff, faculty and campus and hospital leadership and we are allied with a common purpose: dedication to saving lives through donations.
Our Goals
- Implement a University-wide zero tolerance policy for:
- Organ wait list deaths
- Deaths due to lack of blood products
- Deaths due to lack of bone marrow matches
- Educate each member of the U-M community about the need for donors
Become a Wolverine for Life today by learning more about how you can become a life-saving donor.
Donate blood or register to become an organ or bone marrow donor to help save lives.
Every football Saturday, the population of Ann Arbor, Michigan doubles as more than 115,000 people fill the hallowed "Big House" to watch their football heroes. That's about the same number of people waiting for a life-saving organ transplant in the United States. Every day, some die waiting. You can be a hero off the football field: sign up as an organ donor, give blood or join the registry for bone marrow donation.
